Decided to do some searching on my state's circuit court website. I was surprised to see my ex-stepdad facing charges for meth possession and bail jumping since 2019.
Today I'm a very happy man. I feel vindicated based on how he treated me a long time ago when he gave my mom I've been estranged from my phone number without asking me.

I first learned how to program in 1984 at 14. The tech press said I'd be obsolete by 25, due to age.
About 1990 tech press said the Japanese were building fifth generation computers to make me obsolete.
In 2000, the dot com bubble bursting was said to make me obsolete.
There's been neural networks, no-code, and more, since then, to make me obsolete.
Now it's LLMs.
Excuse me while I sit here and don't panic.
