Why I said usually. Most gay men and most straight women are the exceptions.

VBNMW was always "we want to give you a shitty candidate, you'll vote for it and you'll like it."

I would assume they meant "of boobs", but you present an interesting question of terminology. Unfortunately it begs the question, what exactly would we mean by "on boobs" in this context, so that we can question if "off boobs" is it's opposite?

Also, boobs. The answer to boobs is usually yes.

The truck owners I know, myself included, use them all the time for towing and like the added utility having the bed as as secondary feature.

Then you put it beside a truck from 30 years ago that's a quarter the overall size but has the same bed capacity and towing power along with much better visibility instead of not being able to see the child you're about to run over. And then you understand what people mean when they say massive trucks - giant ridiculously unnecessary things that are all about being a status symbol and dodging regulations rather than practicality.

I don't know, I wouldn't mind also being able to tell it to start to preheat while I'm on my way home. Would save a chunk of time if I could literally walk in the door and throw the food in the oven without the extra wait for it to preheat which is usually long enough to be annoying but not long enough to do anything else.

Correct.

Since math is a language and is itself described by language, that folds all the natural sciences (as they are described by math) into social constructs as well, and since engineering is just applied science, engineering is a social construct. Which means that civil engineers assign whether or not a bridge will hold under a given load and conditions, as opposed to it being some properties of the bridge itself independent of the language being used to describe it that determine what loads and conditions it can successfully operate under? No?

Sex is the same way. Sex predates language. Sex predates humans. Sex predates the entirety of organisms we would classify under Kingdom Animalia. It predates any living thing complex enough to have a language. It exists independent of the language used to describe it. You can easily make the argument that's not true for gender, because unlike sex it doesn't exist outside the language and societal structures built around it.

You underestimate the number of people you wouldn't class as intelligent. If no one wanted massive trucks, they would have disappeared off the market within a couple of years because they wouldn't sell. They're ridiculous, inefficient hulks that basically no one really needs but they sell, so they continue being made.

is still a social construct in that it's a label made up in order to explain

By that logic, literally everything that can be described with language is a social construct.

often non-consensually 'correcting' them.

I am against the medically unnecessary cutting of children's genitals in all cases. Whether it's FGM, "correcting" intersex kids (in cases where it's not going to cause problems with things like urination), routine circumcision, etc.

they assign sex

I hate the use of the word assign, but it doesn't fit with what doctors are doing. Sex is a biological rather than social construct. They're looking at how you are, and trying to identify what your reproductive organs are. It's like saying a doctor assigns you a medical condition rather than diagnosing a condition that is already present.

Best I can give him is that she got the job at least partially because she's a black woman. Putting a black woman in SCOTUS was a campaign promise. One made early enough that I doubt he had Jackson already in mind when he made it. She's presumably the most qualified black woman his admin could find, if not the most qualified candidate overall.

Why have a primary if you’re not going to go with the results? That’s not a primary - that’s just bullshit.

Welcome to the DNC. Their primaries (at least the bigger ones) have been bullshit for a long time. Like, they're notorious for bullshit regarding primaries. I like to point to my own state in 2016 as an example, where Clinton won the primary despite getting around 35% of the vote while Sanders won in every county and Clinton didn't even manage second in every county.

The main difference is that this time the "wrong" candidate won despite the bullshit, so now he needs to lose the general, whatever that requires. Again, welcome to the DNC.

The only rational response is to grab a can of spray paint and graffiti the door with "~355/113"
