Before I die, I'd like to accomplish the following:
* Increase human "healthspan" to 500+ years
* Establish the first "Switzerland for libertarians"
* Begin terraforming the universe into gardens of Eden and populate them with my children.
To my mind, all of the above are

Most sculptures have some sort of armature internally. Also, this seems much less wasteful. Post-fair butter cows are treated the same as other waste fats, and turned into animal feed, soap, grease. biodiesel, etc.

How is this a trap? Seems like sex workers can quickly build a pool of capital that would allow them to pursue dreams (education, business, etc) that they would not otherwise be able to pursue.

I don't care a whole lot. If it were entirely made of butter, I'd still sleep soundly. But given two sculptures that look identical, I'd choose the one that wastes less food.

You think capitalists want to lock up toothpaste? Paying employees to retrieve toiletries costs much more than letting customers service themselves.

Dating women is quite unpleasant for most men. Consequently, dating can't compete with videogames and other pasttimes.
This comment from the thread sums it up pretty well:
The LPNH recently tweeted "Nina Turner picking crops should be free." in response to her tweet "Insulin should be free." (See below for a screenshot of the tweets.)
As you might expect, the usual suspects accused LPNH of racism.
However, I would argue that the tweet is

Ugh, I'm sorry your partner did not keep his promises. That your partner failed you doesn't mean you made the wrong decisions though. People who never smoke sometimes get lung cancer. Sometimes you can do everything right, and still suffer from bad luck.

No. Too many false accusations / convictions. For example, some ex-wives falsely accuse ex-husbands of abuse in custody battles.
Also, law incents child molesters to murder the child, since it may reduce the chance that they'll get caught, and the punishment is the same.

Tens of thousands of Twitter users morn today the loss of statistician, psychonaut, and gnome-fetishist Aella. She was found unresponsive in her home, after apparently suffocating while trying to snort her own tongue.
New Hampshire progressives wrote up another glowing endorsement of the FSP:
"The Free State Project has 92,000 followers on Facebook. That's one for every 15 people in the state. It's a good sign for a group that intends to turn New Hampshire into their "Libertarian Homeland."

How do you propose they pay those costs, if their tenants aren't paying rent?

Yes, that's true. There are a number of professions where income/work sharply decline with age: sports, acting, modeling. Are the people who work in those professions "trapped"?

Note: women don't have monolithic desires. I speak to the general case.

I agree that men should be cordial to women who reject them.

Go for it! Many men are dubious about getting seduction from women, as what women say they want, and what they actually respond to, are often very different. But you're unusually self-reflective, open-minded, and data driven, so if any woman could do it, it would be you.
