God I’m getting old. They don’t look anywhere near old enough to vote to me.

I hate going to the pub now as it’s full of children looking people.

It’s because kids these days don’t smoke cigarettes. They really do make you look older.

Vapes and pouches just don’t do it the same. You need the tar.

There’s been a general decline in recorded testosterone levels since the mid 20th. Other hormonal changes are purported as stemming from plastics, which we’re now just beginning to discover.

I think these are the culprits as to why people are starting to look younger. When a guy is juicing at the gym for a while he can start to look 80s old. Idk.

I’m a school bus driver and a lot of my colleagues smoke. The ones in their 40s and 50s look 70+ and they’re just so … leathery. The ones older than that look like zombies.

My God…how do you drive around in a school bus as a smoker and not smoke for the entire route. That’s gotta be one of the most stressful jobs around, right up there with bomb squad technician. The shit you guys have to deal with.

As a parent of two kids…one loud and high-energy, the other a prime target for bullying…I appreciate what you do.

Also, I have 9 chickens and they are awesome. I keep wanting to take one to the bus stop on my shoulder like a pirate.

You know, that actually makes a little sense. I smoked and I looked a bit more… worn when I was 18.

It’s hard to tell, some days, if our memories are sepia-toned, or nicotine-stained.

Yeah, I know. We’re not getting older, they’re getting younger.

You made me think of Dennis Quaid’s speech in Breaking Away.

You know, I used to think I was a really great quarterback in high school. Still think so, too. Can’t even bring myself to light a cigarette ‘cause I keep thinkin’ I gotta stay in shape. You know what really gets me, though? I mean, here I am, I gotta live in this stinkin’ town, and I gotta read in the newspapers about some hot-shot kid, new star of the college team. Every year, it’s gonna be a new one. Every year it’s never gonna be me. I’m just gonna be Mike. Twenty year-old Mike. Thirty year-old Mike. Old, mean old man Mike. These college kids out here - they’re never gonna get old or out of shape ‘cause new ones come along every year. And they’re gonna keep calling us ‘Cutters’. To them, it’s just a dirty word. To me, it’s just somethin’ else I never got a chance to be.

You’re not wrong. Back in the day people would work younger and longer and more outdoorsy jobs and have more exterior day time entertainment.

Now a days people work more indoors and do more indoor activities and also just have better general skin care. Younger peoples skin just looks better now than it did back in the day for the same aged people.

I’m 40 going on 60, (thanks Iraq), and I can no longer tell the difference between a high school kid and a college kid. I’ve decided everyone below 25 is a kid, but I recognize it would be ridiculous to make that the age of majority.

When you hit 50, it’s anyone younger than 35.

The most generous interpretation I’ve got is that he doesn’t know what concubine means.

If he doesn’t know what it means, what does he think it means?

Probably thinks it’s just a normal servant or slave, not a sexual one.

No, he knows exactly what it means. He’s stating they would his sexual slaves. Because they’re weak pussies, and he’s an alpha.

Remember guys: it ain’t gay if you’re the one doing the fucking.
