I used to flippantly joke/remark every year on my birthday that turning x-age didn't feel any different than being the previous age.
Today, I turned 49. I don't physically feel any older than my late-30s, nor do I particularly look like I'm 49. Fuck, though, I'm really feeling the passage of time.
Forty. Fucking. Nine. Where did it all go?

I installed Tik Tok to see what it is ...
Teens these days have access to things we only could dream of when we were 15 yo. I mean, 95% of the content on Tik Tok is teen girls being sexy in all ways you can imagine. When i was 15 yo, i had to watch the Sears catalogue to see woman's bras section, that was the most sexy material I could put my eyes on. Today with internet... its just endless material, they can see anything as soon as they have any interest in it.
That said, I uninstalled Tik Tok. I was not comfortable with all this. And it made me think that the current generation is very different than ours, the Internet man... it just changed everything.
- i watched scrambled porn from cable boxhotroddy
- Anything for VIEWSHayoth
- That's why 16-18 year olds now get erectile dysfunction because of overstimulation of the brain and excess dopamine.NBQ00
- I'm pretty sure with out tiktok teens are going to be teens.pango
- Ben I think you should go meet some teens instead of one's on internet. But be careful.pango
- https://i.imgur.com/…pango
- i wonder how it affects teens in the long terms all this 'show yourself and be sexy' thing.Bennn
- as far as i can remember when i was in high school, before cellphone. kids were already 'show yourself and be sexy'pango
- only difference is any perv can download tiktok on their phone now.pango
- i think its very different now man, its like all the time... you watch 500 videos of sexy girls in the next 15 min if you want.Bennn
- Tik Tok and Instagram is filled with millions of 'show youself and be sexy' videos and images. Where were kids showing themselve when you were 15 yo pango??Bennn
- and when you open Tik Tok, its the "For you" content that appears and its 99% 18 years old girls shaking their ass and boobs. You can scroll that for hours.Bennn
- TikTok userbase is 50% children, 50% pedos.PhanLo
- i must be old, but i think its not OK for the mental well being of the teens, all this.Bennn
- if you never tried Tik Tok, just download it and take a lookBennn
- Bennn, channeling Norm Macdonald with this rant.

We don't want your pervert app, Bennn.deadsperm - You've been angrily fapping to teens to the point making you sick and having to uninstall the app and are now asking us to install it?!!!deadsperm
- What happens when you’re no longer young and sexy and don’t get the views? Unfortunately suicide. Happening at an alarming rate to these Instagram stars_niko
- teens who dont like themselves or doesnt look "as good" must have a terrible life. When you're 16 its terrible.Bennn
- I agree with you Bennnmonospaced
- growing up is much better now than before, you get to see all you want from home and there is series like sex education that teaches you how to think,talk b sexuan
- The problem is the adults installing apps to check out "sexy teen girls" and compare them to their fap material when they were teens.deadsperm
- It’s dumbing down society. That’s what it is. This new generation of humans is growing up with social media. And all that matters is being cute, pretty, sexy.NBQ00
- ...and getting as much attention as possible. It’s no longer desirable to know why the universe exists and what life is all about. No, it’s all about followers.NBQ00
- old man yelling at backstreet boys concertsted
- we're slowly getting to that Idiocraty societyBennn
- It can’t be good for dopamine development. Probably going to be lots of people developing Parkinson’s.shapesalad
- When I was a lad I had to look through the dictionary for all the naughty words to get any sort of sexual excitement. Along with the Avon catalogue.shapesalad
- lol, yeah rarity made it even more interesting. Now its endless material of any kind in 1 or 2 clicks. It's weird.Bennn
- just imagine the kids at school watching the TikTok of the hottest girls at their school. Nerds and rejects paradise.Bennn
- Just image you standing outside a school complaining about how sexy these teens with their juicy tits look. That's what you are doing with this app.deadsperm
- Teens will be teens - they're always going to do this sort of thing regardless of the media used to do it. In high school in my day it was the odd photo...ben_
- or flashing at a party. The stakes are higher now and parents have to be diligent without pushing their kids away for doing things that come naturally...ben_
- what they also don't need are middle age dudes critiquing it online as if they aren't downloading the app to wank off to.ben_
- Bennn's obsession with these teens makes me think parents should be more careful with the adults "looking out" for the children than their children's behaviour.deadsperm
- "oh here's that app that everyone says teen girls are naked on... hmmm... I wonder how they approached the UX" *doubleclicktodownlo...ben_
- "Tik Tok is teen girls being sexy in all ways you can imagine."
Bennndeadsperm - "When i was 15 yo, i had to watch the Sears catalogue to see woman's bras section, that was the most sexy material I could put my eyes on. "
Now we have Tik Tokdeadsperm - Hi deadsperm, it seems you didnt get what I said in here. Its ok. I wont add anything else.Bennn

2 signs:
1- I turned 40 on saturday.
2- I will never sleep-in in my life again, because I will always have to wake up to piss at 4am.
- 47 here, 4am piss sounds about rightGuyFawkes
- Just don't open your eyes and when you're done run back so you don't lose the "sleepiness"drgs
- #dawnpiss started with me at about 50. not the best sign of getting old :)renderedred
- Go running an hour or two before sleep and go to bed a little dehydrated (not too much ;)Chimp
- time for your adult diaper?Krassy
- move your room to the bathroomESKEMA
- See I don't think either of those options work. As soon as my bladder says "I have to go pee" its too late, I'm awake.bogue
- what I need is a catheter slowly extracting urine from my body throughout the night.bogue
- Happy belated birthday, but also is #dawnpiss a thing?garbage
- HBDutopian
- Yep, the 4-5am piss... welcome to your 40snecromation
- read that as "I will never sleep with my wife again"VectorMasked
- i'm 30 and already have this problemmilfhunter
- Leave the light off. Piss sitting down, so you don't miss. Go back to sleep.jagara
- drink a beer after pissing, recovers the fluid and electrolyte levels in the system and helps getting back to sleep.uan
- Just cane massive amounts of speed and never sleep again.face_melter

Getting divorced.
Now looking at possibly having to sell my home as part of the divorce and splitting the proceeds of the sale. I try to not let it get to me but bloody stressful at times.
Any divorcees with top tips much appreciated.
- Listen to you lawyer, not your heartGnash
- Do whatever you can to buy her out of the house. It’s hard to get back in the marketGnash
- Oh, hang in there. Time heals allGnash
- Never marry again?grafician
- Listen to your wallet, not your lawyer.utopian
- It's official...2020 blows ass for everyone!utopian
- my advice is get it done as quickly as possible and move on._me_
- Keep a cool head. Don't let emotions get in the way. I echo the buy her out. I bought my ex out of our house. Barely had a penny to my name after I did.MarleyMarl
- Sold the house 5 years later for $1.1M, almost double the assessed value of what I bought her share out at. Pockets $700K.MarleyMarl
- Thanks for the advice all. Feel a little lost with this at the moment, a lot going on and unsure what to do. Buying out seems like the best approach...pedromendez
- ..but will mean ill be financially fucked for the next few years.. might be the best approach long term though if i can do itpedromendez
- Do it if you can, PedroGnash
- Get laid ASAPsyst_m

This design aesthetic. I feel like someone's taking the piss or making ironically bad design. Or maybe I'm just old.
