40yr old man on the tram yesterday playing some sort of donk chiptune rave shit on a Bluetooth speaker. A lot of passengers muttering about how it's illegal now. I said "I kinda like it! This music was around when I was a kid but I grew out of it when I turned twelve" and then he stopped the music.

Been thinking the theme for #wsmfp is gonna be "a trip through time" tonight, esp with no real nod to their 40yr anniversary this year, and this makes me believe it even more

it's like nobody remembers how they were hyping up OMIT and then #1 drops and MJ is written as a 40yr old burned out wine aunt that runs off from her marriage while the husband is in the hospital taking care of his dying mom

Need Spurs dog names;
I’ve done the obvious (Sonny, Harold, Bale, Ledley, Ossie) and need some names that will satisfy an 8yr old boy and 40yr old lady

Right, he's a chameleon who adapts and sucks up to the biggest player in the room. Religion or Business...
A 40yr old whose had 3-4 different names and religions allready, is not grounded or reliable.
He's malleable.
A fatherless boy still looking for a dad's approval.

So, if I’m hearing this right, Russia is sinking ships for Iran and trump is allowing Russia to sell oil to China so it has the money to arm Iran. Trump even buys a bunch of Russian cooking oil diesel with our tax money funding the war against our allies Ukraine that we promised to protect 40yr ago.

As a 40yr programmer, I will NEVER trust crypto! Until computers block spam, phishing, hacking, and ransomware, and quantum computers can’t crack encryption, never consider crypto. N. Koreans stole $1.3bn this year, “cryptoqueen” stole $6.6 billion, easy to tax evade or be erased by solar flare.

Chris is funny. I know people love doing this thing where we pretend a person was never funny. He has had an almost 40yr career.
He don’t need defending him, he’s a big boy and can take his arrows. But I think people put 20 on 10 with him. A LOT

Yet another reason why we need age limits in Congress. You call a 40yr old man’s moral failing “youthful” and the 84yr old cryptkeepers feel flattered and nod indulgently.
Usually right after signing in a law that approves the adult death penalty for 13 yr old poor kids.

Allegedly Ethan (a 40yr old man) cheated on his wife with their 27yr old employee and got her pregnant.
Lots of people are talking about it and celebrating his downfall

Hang on, the real concern about a 19yr old woman dating a 40yr old man is what is wrong with her? Is that what you just said?

Israel election likely to be won by Gadi Eisenkot/Yashar, a 40yr IDF veteran. His only redeeming feature appears to be he is not Netanyahu, otherwise it's all same shit different bucket: pro genocide, opposes 2 state solution etc. Nothing will change, just the war criminal in charge.

Most of the people who care have a 40yr old antiquated view of how the market operates (read: boomer brokers).

If it's only sexual, I'm all for it. Some of the best sex I've had was with men 2x my age. Infact, got fucked so rough by a 60yr old at 18 that he broke 2 condoms
But dating a 40yr old at 19, looking back. I was definitely mentally, financially abused.

Agree. I’m a retired UK public sector worker (NHS), I spent 40yr listening to people with no public sector experience telling us that we were inefficient.
My experience of many (not all) private sector contractors made that claim completely laughable.
Especially when it comes to customer service.

Kindness to assholes is overrated. Bullies only speak the language of power, and only stop when you flip it back on them.
This is my lived experience as a 40yr old AuHD guy who was and has been continually bullied all his life, whose boundaries are never respected, even as of day before yesterday

Religious nuts 30 yrs ago told the then republican born again faithful that the next wars will be fought over water
I never forgotten that & between bottling companies draining cities & data centers, the Colorado river drying out, i hate to admit their 40yr plan is coming to pass
It is all planned

Yes. UK. We’ve privatised all public utilities now 40yr ago. They’re all owned by not UK based companies, spend most of their ‘profits’ on dividends for execs. and shareholders and by and large give less than optimal service. For example our waterways are pretty well 100% polluted with sewage.

I read an article yesterday about farmers being locked out of their equipment when any computer error code is detected, so tractors sit idle bc you’re to pay for the privilege of calling the help line. Farmers are now sourcing 40yr old tractors they can fix themselves. What are we doing here?
