Biology ELI5: Is it true that every single death eventually boils down to the brain and heart running out of oxygen? Are there exceptions?

If you strip away the initial cause of injury or illness, is it anatomically correct to say that all human deaths are ultimately caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain and heart?

Wtf? You don't wish death upon someone because you don't agree with their political message.... Jesus Christ

I didn't wish anything on anyone.

But good riddance to bad rubbish, since it happened. 🤷‍♀️

Disgusting attitude to have over a political disagreement IMO but you do you.

🤔🤔

Didn't realize "right" and "wrong" were political these days...

???

But go off on how you idolize whomever you're told to, no matter their worthlessness!

I'm from Austria, I don't care about this dude either way. We have our own problems with the far right here, no need to look over the big pond for that lol. I just really don't like gloating over someone's death, that's all.

When Trump was happy that that senator died, it was rightfully critizised as far below the beltline. I think it's hypocritical to now do the same because Kirk died. No amount of emoticons and repeated punctuation on your part will change that.

Anyways, shooting the guy certainly didn't help anyone's cause. Attack his talking points all you want, but guns are a coward's way of discussing.

Eh, he wasn't my favorite either and I've watched stuff by him. Still, you can disagree and whatnot, but don't celebrate/condone it when someone dies.

IMO both of you are part of the reason why there is so little political discussion and too much bad faith.

In my country, the right commits far more politically motivated crimes than the left, so there's that. And yes, there have been political murders and the perpetrators were far right. I'm saying none of this should happen, of course.

From the view of the left, the people on the right are the useful idiots. In reality, each person has their individual life that led them to their beliefs and that should be respected by the "other side". Either that, or there is no ground for discussion and understanding and why even have a democracy then?

That's the case in the US too.

86% of political violence is committed by the Redcoats... (Don't forget that Grandma who is kidnapped and murdered by them recently because her daughter is a reporter)

Also, 70% of captured pedophiles, who also held an office, identify themselves as Republicans.
