If for some reason industrial society collapses then we will be at a point where were cannot advance technology further.

Humans have an upper limit on intellect. We would be unable to advance technology further once when can no loner conceive of where to go from the point we're at. Even if we invent an AI that can conceive of new advancements 'we' would no longer be advancing technology.

If you were asking if technology has a peak advancement level it is subject to the physical laws of the universe, and the way those laws can be implemented is not infinite.

I find them confusing. Here's a common scenario - Someone uses a phrase I never heard before, find it on encyclopedia dramatica, a word in the definition is also linked, that word has a definition I never heard before, a word in the definition is also linked, that word has a definition I never heard before.

I now think the first phrase I looked up has something to do with the 2nd and 3rd. This leaves me more confused about the context in which I encountered it, and how it was used in that context.

Most of the news media has a liberal bias.

I always hate that this is just accepted as fact, because it's a result of conservative talking heads playing the ref and completely getting away with it.

Most of the personalities I watch consider themselves to be liberals and they concur about liberal idealogues in the media giving them a bad name.

Not sure how one can use drugs over the internet but discussion is certainly possible. However this doesn't distinguish between illegal, prescription, and 'over the counter' drugs. So I guess you can't discuss any of those either.

Most of the news media has a liberal bias. So if you do an unbiased search of news media the search will show a majority of liberal biased sources. If it were to show a balanced mix of liberal/conservative sources then the search would be biased.

This is a tough one to call. Do you leave the search as an accurate representation of liberal bias? Or do you bias the search in an attempt to mitigate the already present bias? I think fighting bias with bias is what the liberals have been doing. If anything it would be fun to use their tactics against them and watch them complain how it's wrong when it's someone other than them is doing it.

The combination of the child being already really stressed and making himself vulnerable to his peers was toxic,

Why was he already stressed though? The article points to involving others in his sexuality as the pivotal event. Was there more going on prior to that? Why would he want to involve people that were already bullying him?

Jamels mom is focused on making schools more tolerant.

Right, it's the schools fault that she didn't advise her son in a way that would prepared him for different attitudes he might encounter.

We should have accountability for bullying, Pierce told KDVR-TV.

There is. It's called detention.

I think the child should. Because the child knows its wrong. The child wouldnt want someone to do it to them.

The child should what? Be more tolerant or have accountability. Which of these does the child know is wrong. Again, this is a poorly constructed article.

because obviously the parents are either teaching them to be like that, or theyre treating them like that,

Or the parents aren't doing anything because they hold the school accountable for own failings as a parent.

I don't get why people need to involve others in private matters. Unless you're trying to proposition someone keep your sexuality to yourself.

He was gonna tell people hes gay because hes proud of himself,

How is being gay an accomplishment to be proud of?

Not only was he going back to school with a major admission, he was also adjusting to his newfound femininity.

This is an odd sentence. Does being gay also make him trans?

I know you buy me boy stuff because Im a boy, but Id rather dress like a girl, Jamel recently told with his mom.

Apparently it does. This is a poorly constructed article.

How many generations

Following along so far.

after a truly disgusting person dies

Not sure what you mean by truly disgusting, assuming Hitler as an example.

should be punished?

Should who be punished? He's already dead. You can't punish him any further.
Is someone else being punished? Punishing one person for another's deed is the act of a truly disgusting person.

The answer to your question is 0 years. Only the truly disgusting person themself should be punished for their own actions.

"Have you ever bought the limited or collector's edition of a game?" should be a yes or no question. But then the options answer questions that weren't asked.

Such as:
Are they worth the money?
Does the high cost deter you?
Do you buy many games?

This means several of the responses don't have their immediate opposite represented.

Yes, they're usually worth the money
Yes, though they're usually NOT worth the money

Yes, when the extras are nice
Yes, though the extras were uninteresting
- additionally -
Yes, it was ransom for DLC that couldn't be obtained an other way

No, the extra cost is never worth it
No, but not because of the expense

No, but I don't buy that many games anyway
No, I'd rather spend the money on several games.

The lack of these options suggests that if you bought one you were pleased with your purchase. Or if you haven't then you must be poor or not that involved in gaming.

Edit: Having read it, your computers are all under the class of computer so you only use one device class.

That's where the options are inconsistent.
The option "the computer I'm using right now" specifies an individual device. If you use 4 computers it excludes the other 3.
The option "Four or more" then specifies device classes.
The options switch between using device classes and individual devices making it unclear what was being asked.

It should just be a simple question about numbers. But it then it goes into type of devices.

Suppose you use 4 separate computers and only computers. Is that 4 devices, or just the computer you're using right now?

Then there are the just one options. It asks about devices and specifies a computer. So computer is a device. But then is specifies the device I'm using right now. So computer is different from a device.

I thought a charge of murder requires evidence of intent.

argonautweakend posted...
Felony murder, guys. The charges are first degree child abuse, which satisfies the requisite for felony murder to bump up second degree murder to be punished as first degree murder under Michigan law. Ie, a death caused by reckless disregard for human life, when coupled with the child abuse charge, becomes punishable as first degree murder.

What alchemy is this? There was a single action here, neglect. There should a singular punishment for a singular crime.
