Worried I might have a UTI 😧 (hexbear.net)

So for the last couple of months my urine has been cloudy in the toilet and it smells pretty bad, def. not the normal pee smell. The other day I also noticed my ejaculations cause discomfort. I dunno if this is signs of a uti, I'm getting old, or some kind of pelvic disorder.

Any menfolk of hexbear have any clues?

Sounds like you're going to a doc, which is the most important step. In the meantime, stay hydrated. This helps both UTIs and most kidney things.

The pain you're mentioning may be pelvic floor dysfunction, which often accompanies urinary issues of various kinds. You can (gently) palpitate the pelvic floor muscles to see if they are tight and/or tender. At-home PT exercises, (very) gentle massage, and practicing breathing into your stomach to relax these muscles can all help.
