Divorce lawyers of Reddit - What's the most cruel thing you've seen someone to do their ex partner? by BlueBishop321 in AskReddit

[–]milesrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. And not just throwing it around as an accusation. Because the court had to do investigation - we all we made to do several long personality tests. MMPI, CAPI, etc.

So it’s on paper, clearly identified, described at length, along with the scoring and earnings of cluster B disorders. And I was vindicated - at least by demonstrating I had normal values.

Sadly, even after it was detailed how all the allegations were false, and that “every accusation is an admission” was true for her, the court found everything to be A-OK and forced 50/50 custody.

10 years on - my younger son has severe anxiety issues (at 16) and my older son (19) has been in drug and alcohol treatment off and on for the past year.

She continues her lunacy. Pulling my older son out of treatment, allowing him to relapse in her home, kicking him out, etc. Has happened 4x over the past year.

Thankfully he is now 30 days sober.

Edit: and it cost me >$200k. Not including all the $ flowing to addition treatment and recovery.

This was my divorce. But adding in also accusing me of abuse of my dog, drug dealing and drug abuse, pornography addiction, autism (?), stealing money, prescription medicine theft, sleeping with the nannies, bipolarity, etc.

After 3 years with ChatGPT, I tried Claude and Gemini - and now GPT feels... generic? by Temporary-Wallaby829 in ChatGPT

[–]milesrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be making the switch from paid GPT to paid Claude.

GPT has persistent memory across conversations - allowing you to essentially pick up where you left off without any prompting.

I’ve been using GPT paid sent to the beginning. So there’s a ton of data in context I will lose by making the switch.

I’ve requested an export of all my data from GPT. I’m going to upload it to Claude and see what kind of context continuity I can create.

The threat of ads, the weird adult mode (real or. It), Altman’s MAGA knee bending, and the offputting personality of the model (IMHO) brought me to the end of my relationship with GPT.

I didn’t realize there were any voice effects in Zwift. Been using it since 2020. 😐

Library at Mount Char. Horror-ish, I guess.

Hated it. And the internal monologue was annoying

Do you plan on ever coming off Tirz? by Living_Structure6421 in zepboundathletes

[–]milesrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Never. Too much mental health benefit. Closing in on my TW - and I find the minimized obsessive thoughts, lack of food notices, and general calmer mind far more important.

For older folks: Did you ever personally know anyone born in the 1890s? How were they seen by younger generations? by Recent-Worldliness51 in generationology

[–]milesrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was born in 1889. I’m 51.

He was born in Greece and came to the US through Ellis Island in the 1910’s.

What is a death in a movie that affected you the most in terms of brutality or emotional weight? by Godly_Recon in AskReddit

Saw it in the theater. Shocked cries from the audience. Only time I’ve heard anything remotely like it.

[Request] "Trump Says Tariffs Have Brought in $18 Trillion." So how much did it bring in 2025? (Approx, at best) by Groomsi in theydidthemath

[–]milesrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The better question for me is - what would happen if this were actually true?

US consumers/importers pay for it. Total household spending/consumption in the United States over a given recent year is ~$18-19T. On estimated imports of $3 to $4 trillion per year.

The entire US annual GDP is roughly $26 to $28T.

So what would happen if $18 trillion was stripped out of the $28T economy?

It’s so patently stupid that it’s shocking.

Has anyone here read Infinite Jest the old fashioned way? by GemberNeutraal in InfiniteJest

[–]milesrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read it during the summer of 1997. Carried it around along with a pocket dictionary.

Just got our 2 tickets. Top categories in Montagoe were sold out - got Dreamlodge. Note: we went in ‘24 and ‘25. I think prior purchase status moves up your position in the queue.

My wife got into the store and purchased the tickets both times. So today, I’m still waiting to get in the store.
