any other "conservative president" would have lost in 2016 making this whole point moot anyway
I disagree. If Trump hadn't run, we could have ended up with a boring normal republican who would have almost certainly won against doomed candidate Hillary Clinton. Of course no candidate in 2016's primary was equipped to deal with his shenanigans or frankly live in the meme economy at all.
you would prefer a nicer, polished Trump?
There are things I wish he'd done differently, even adjusting for our obvious political differences. I wish he'd kept turnover lower and cultivated effective leaders he could delegate to. I wish he'd handled Covid differently rather than deferring to states and letting the CDC go off on adventures. I wish he'd had a more pragmatic plan to deal with China. I wish he'd thought more carefully about his responsibility as a leader to set the stage for future leaders who aren't him.

The FUD that he tanked revenue by pissing off advertisers? Yes.

Right but any conservative president would have done the same. It's congress that made sure he got to nominate three instead of two.

Maybe it's a circumcision thing too, if you're uncut you require no lube and can get real far focusing pressure on the frenulum.

I'm saying is there enough value to justify the logistical tail? A Hitachi literally plugs into the wall but it's worth it. Is there anything with that kind of value add for penis-focused guys? (I'm sure there are tons of excellent things to put in your asshole if that's your jam.)

Is there a serious value add for male sex toys? there's no anatomical analogy to a Hitachi, but a hand can curl around a dick just fine. No batteries, no plug, and I'm carrying it around anyway. The hell I need a toy for?

He appointed an unprecedented three SCOTUS judges in a single term
That's congress's doing, not Trump's. All he did was sit in the chair. Any old stooge could have done that, and for less!

But every doctor thinks this way and they're the only group with the collective power to do anything about it.
You might notice the term I used was rein in, not 'control.'
Synonymous.
But I suspect that its similar to the obesity epidemic.
Hell, that might be a bigger influence than anything else, because it's making a larger and larger fraction of people unattractive, but you're still striving for an attractive partner. Just not striving in a way that includes reducing calories.
I still don't understand how you're seeing a scenario where young women go after older men as entirely the fault of women or their sexuality and not a mutual decision made by both men and women.
'Dating apps are bad for nental health' isn't automatically a support for the notion that unrestrained female sexuality is responsible for societal ills.

committed partner.
In my experience the majority of young men don't profess a desire for a committed partner, young women do. Maybe that's changed since I was a young man.
wait a decade before they can have a chance
Hyperbolic. Plenty of young men end up in relationships.
Also, while I agree that OnlyFans probably isn't a healthy outlet because of the parasocial aspect, there are plenty of others like pornhub, Literotica, HBO, and the power of imagination.

Will people who don't want to pay for this type of porn sacrifice the upsides of centralized currency just to protect the freedom of people they consider deviants?

Why do they put up with being his arm candy for a few years rather than marrying a 'lower status' man?
Because Leo was in Titanic and gives them a ladyboner. I imagine that's also the reason Leo goes after a particular demographic-he finds them attractive. I assume that most of those partners will eventually end up married.
Especially if women have virtually no obstacles to finding a partner of virtually any age or description if they so desire
And yet they... don't. So either they have very particular preferences, they aren't motivated to call your bluff, or there are some obstacles that you don't see, such as social consequences.
the group that is least able to find partners is young males, and possibly older females.
Young men will eventually become old men, old women were once young women. Have people become less patient?

I didn't say that it was breaking the system, I did say that it was removing their incentive to fix it.
Exactly how should Scott fix the red tape in the system?
Refuse to do business by fax.

have a wife and/or kids to come home to?
Is that what 'control of female sexuality' looks like? Isn't tying a man down and having kids controlling male sexuality?
I guess my point here is that I don't see this idea of rampant promiscuity ruining the dating market any more believable than a claim that men spending all of their time watching Minecraft streams ruining the dating market, and I definitely don't see 'dating is hard' being the main cause behind recent unraveling of the social contract.
Do you think that the current environment of hypercompetition in the dating market makes men more or less altruistic and conscientious?
I doubt that it has a large scale net effect.

Sounds like he was doing both, possibly with the idea that they'd work synergistically.

What gets me the most is that he prescribes to family members in emergencies. This pisses me off pretty severely. For people who don't know a doctor, getting the drugs they need can be a huge struggle. Rather than try to fix the amount of red tape in the system, doctors what, make sure that it never affects the people they care about, and let the rest of us just deal with it? this ability to avoid the consequences of their own inaction is typical of doctors and part of why the US healthcare system's problems aren't just caused by faceless bureaucrats.

Isn't that a common argument?
Not a particularly compelling one. I don't know any women who would settle for being part of a harem in favor of being married to a comparatively lower status man.
I think there's this imagination that all the instances of Man not having sex have been replaced 1:1 with woman having sex with Chad.
I think reality is more like: both the man and the woman in the equation are picking a more convenient way to pass the time and unwilling to make themselves uncomfortable to find a partner.
Your competition isn't Chad, it's Netflix.

the inability of society to 'reign in' female sexuality in a healthy way contributes to almost every form of social dysfunction we observe.
Isn't it mostly men doing the rioting, heroin, shooting, looting... did I miss any?

People who make reasonable decisions like that never become temporary crypto-billionares in the first place.
Right but I'm under the impression that uncut folks are already using lube anyway so the jump to toys might not be as much of a pain?
Men don't regularly have these conversations among themselves. I wonder if female masturbation tradecraft is more developed because women actually talk about it whereas men for the most part figure it out like any primate can and go to town for life.
