What happens then?

After this culture war is over, the first people in the hole will be the actual right wing racists

The second people in the hole will be left wing people throwing that accusation around at any spare target.

The leftist McCarthyists need to go.

Well that appears to be what your media has informed you

In the UK you can be arrested for teaching your girlfriend's pug to heil as a joke.

The fax protocol includes a strong "read receipt" type mechanism that the machines can't ignore. "Did you get the last page?" "Yes, no bad lines."

Legally, this is interesting because it doesn't exist in email. You had the machines agree that the complete document was sent and was received. You will certainly find that it other transfer protocols, but not email, where the machines don't talk to each other directly.

As an engineer looking, it's rather depressing how many places have job requirements that are just a wishlist, or a resume-whittling strategy.

Because the end of the last ice age was only 12,000 years ago; and in that time frame, if that warming was caused by a prehistoric civilization, there would be a ton of evidence for that civilization's existence.

(As opposed to the Atlantic writer, who did the job for a day, didn't know how to do it correctly, found it difficult, and whined about it. That's not actually telling us much of anything, when you think about it.)

Enforced monogamy, i.e., marriage

So: if you are both skilled at tech AND at working with people, and you're shooting for a tech job with an experienced interviewer... BE MORE AWKWARD!

Well that's the thing about the slippery slope argument... it always leads to jackbooted thugs marching into your living room and by then it's too late

Having heard this argument made so many times in my lifetime, I've been awaiting the sound of the jackboots on the stairwells for decades

This eternal vigilance has now become tiresome. So much to watch for, I don't think I can keep it up
