I tore my lower back intercostals [ rib muscles ] picking up a bucket.
Bloody agony.
- Impressivedrgs
- is the "getting old" part the fact you're specifically referring to the "intercostals" AND also explaining what those are?Krassy
- heh, more the bucket part.
[ tho have to admit didnt know the name of rib muscles until this morning ! ]_me_ - move to the country.grafiske
- Erm ... just how heavy was that bucket?Continuity

Sleep is getting worse and worse with age it seems.
I usually fall asleep quickly but most often wake up too early or no real deep sleep. I never truly feel rested when waking up.
And lately I also seem to have some type of insomnia where I don’t fall asleep but at the same time in some state of half-sleep and toss and turn around in bed.
Missing the old days where I had no eye rings/ bags and now it just seems chronic.

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.

- 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

Went to the bank to make a withdrawal. As I'm there waiting, I look at my wallet and realize my drivers license is gone. I start to panic. Look in the rest of my wallet, take everything out, pat down all my pockets. Nothing. Try to remember the last time I needed to take it out. Can't remember. Already my head is spinning as I think how the rest of my day is ruined because I'm going to have to go to the DMV. I start mumbling to myself as the cashier says:
"Here is your withdrawal sir. May I help you with anything else?"
"Oh, umm, no. I'm good. Thanks."
She then hands me my money.
And my balance receipt.
And my drivers license.
/facepalm.

Misspelling simple words because it's too early to work and the caffeine hasn't kicked in and I'm worried about other things like... exactly when do I stop designing... without a real retirement plan I'm kinda asking for it to never stop... forcing rather.

Thought i lost one of my bike keys ONLY, to only find it in bike locked my garage...So take the key out and home only to find it lost on the way home from my garage (10 min walk )... I get a UBER back to the garage, i can't find it.
The next day i use one of my other bikes and when i lock it up at the end of the day as I'm leaving, i find the other key sitting on the wall! Super excited... so the weekend comes i take the lost key bike out, after a day of riding with her tuck up i stop of at my local for a drink and my daughter meets me for lemonade (she's 1) we walk home and guess what... I lost the fucking key again! My misses is giving me that "you're a fucking twat...But i ain't saying nothing) look. I walk back to the pub, nobody's handed it in. the next day i go to take the other bike out so i can ride to the gym... and the fucking is in the other bike!!!
I'm gonna bored you even more... But i lost it and found it again before that day was done. #dickhead

I was delayed at security attempting to catch a flight back to the UK from Lagos, Nigeria. I’m forced to run to the plane in sauna-like heat with approximately 30 tonnes of camera equipment. As I reach the plane the door is closing and I’m drenched in sweat - not the greatest start to a 9hr flight. I barely make it to my seat. As if to add insult to injury, the inflight entertainment system is fucked.
Pieters, the KLM Steward, has taken pity on me and i'm already two whiskey and cokes down. We discuss beard care and I enquire as to his ability to get fat Thor on my aeroplane tele. "I'll reset it sir, it may take a few minutes".
Fifteen minutes goes by and i'm pressing the screen, trying to choose English as my preferred language, the guy sat next to me is having the same problem. Pieters is on trolley duty, I wait until he delivers our meals and enquire again about my sky tele. "Still not working sir? give me a few minutes and i'll reset the system again. Sorry, this sometimes happens."
Pieters delivers another whiskey and coke and explains that the system has reset and I should have no more problems. He hangs around whilst I try to select the right language, firmly and purposefully pressing the screen but ultimately unsuccessful. I look up towards what i now believe to be an incompetent Peiters, he leans over and whispers "Sir... it's not touch screen, the remote control is in the arm of your seat"
- hahahaha, wonderfulNairn
- lol. good old Pieters.Fax_Benson

- Ey! How was the Lagos session? Never been there, Is it as chaotic as I could read?OBBTKN
- Pics?OBBTKN
- Actually, you're not getting old... Its their system who's old man!Bennn
- Nigeria is chaotic and brutal. We had armed guards - which cause more issues that they solve. We did shoots in Lagos, Abuja and Benin. I ate snake and dog...Morning_star
- ...not out of choice. Getting the plan back and travelling through Lagos airport is one of the worst experiences i've had in my life.Morning_star
- My partner's organised shoots over there and armed guards, thievery and bribery are par for the course. Sounds 'fun'.Nairn
- it seems bribery and kick backs are a national sport.Morning_star
- You could turn this into a film. Well played!ideaist
- Welcome to Upvote City - where you're the Mayor!stoplying
- Ironically this could also be a sign you're a millenial.zarkonite
- I hope Peiters snuck a shot or two of said whiskey... sounds like he deserved it as much as you :)PonyBoy
- I can't sleep on planes so whilst the rest pf the plane slept myself a Pieters shared a few camp fire stories and half a bottle of Jamesons in the back galley..Morning_star

We were on a beach in Hawaii once and these young surfers asked our 3yr old daughter "does your dad surf?" She turned to look at me and flatly responded "no...he snorkels"

You go to a friend’s house to hang out and see a car you left in their garage and think to yourself... “oh yeah, I forgot I owned this, I should sell this.”
