“Your voting record is public… Your neighbors are watching and will know

Fucking NO. This is not acceptable. This isn’t advertising, it isn’t campaigning, it’s un-American intimidation.

Super late edit: anti-American -> un-American

I hope you’re joking. The privacy of how one votes is foundational. It’s how you feel safe voting against the government in a democracy. The perceived lack of it has been a conservative lying point fighting mail in ballots. This is a worse example. Far worse.

Ah, please accept my apologies then.

I’m a Canadian, but we are quite familiar with US civics by nature of neighbourly love and media saturation. We also share an absolute respect for the sanctity of one’s vote, or at least did.

My reaction to your question was to assume you were a US citizen who was under the impression that the threat in the OP - that one’s vote against Trump would be known by the Republican Party - was legitimate. This compounded my anger at the already ludicrous example of fascism and/or authoritarianism in the OP in seeing someone victim to it. Missing the civil basics whose absence is part of why we are in this… situation.

Apologies again for the wrong assumption. The world is terrifying right now.

Could death by starvation be delayed by drinking your own blood?

Let's say you are dying of starvation. You pull one of your teeth out, causing blood to slowly seep into your mouth, which you swallow. The calories from the blood getting digested will delay the time you die of starvation, right? Or will losing blood while starving kill you faster?

If you have calories in your blood, you should leave them in there to get used instead of taking them out and back in. You wouldn’t be adding usable energy, you already had it.

You have energy stored in fat and muscle, but your body already is going to try and consume those without all that added stress of eating yourself from the outside.

Every time I finalize my home office / game desk plans something comes along to motivate change.
