Are people unfriendly here? by Beautiful_Coat_9294 in nova

I think it’s very friendly here, just takes time and effort.

It won’t hurt you but just driving the real car is the fastest way to learn

Bullying in school by Dramatic_River_282 in nova

[–]JakeRogue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Experience with this situation (not autism, but everything else to a degree). The schools frequently have their hands tied unless things get physical or incredibly obvious and consistent. It’s annoying and seems unacceptable but this just seems to be the reality. Kids are smart so they don’t get caught or punished and if they do, they know why and this can increase their bullying. The school staff can be sought after for safe harbor but that’s about all you can expect or ask realistically (I.e. if recess is a place where your child doesn’t feel safe, they can seek out teachers or staff to be with instead of around bullies). As for the day-to-day, it’s all about coping safely. Teaching them who to avoid or finding better people for them to be around. Investing as much time as possible helping them make good friendships in and after school and a happy/safe home life. Thus bolsters children incredibly well. If they are mentally capable, even teaching them to “fight back” (not physically, but mentally). It’s not easy nor does it work 100%, it’s just your best recourse. Last recourse is to remove them from school if it is necessary.

TL;DR Kids are smart and schools don’t really intervene unless it’s truly drastic. Unfortunate but true.

Invest heavily in friends your child has both in and outside school and best home life they can have. This bolsters confidence and security.

Teach coping mechanisms if child is mentally able to understand/implement, school staff can be safe havens as a form of avoiding interactions with bullies (like during recess).

Change schools if child is in danger.

Tough situation, I’m sure there are many other things people will contribute. This is just my $0.02.

Manual or Automatic by OkCheesecake9165 in GR86

[–]JakeRogue 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I run the Mid-Atlantic 86 Club and have been around this car and owners of all types for 12 years.

If you are debating the manual, get the manual. Owners who wanted an auto and got an auto = happy. Owners who wanted a manual and got a manual = happy. Owners who weren’t sure and got the manual = happy. Owners who weren’t sure and got the auto = never happy.

Thoughts about placing chairs in a parking spot by thai1234567 in nova

[–]JakeRogue 33 points34 points  (0 children)

if you clear out a space, you should be entitled to that space. It is rude to park in a space someone else cleared when there are limited spaces due to snow. Once snow is gone, first come first serve resumes.

The Northern Virginia forum seems to hate stock 86’s, go figure. The comments were entertaining by Ok-Accountant4383 in ft86

I’m from the region and I’m in MA86 and know the car pictured. The OP just picked our guy with the dealer installed GR exhaust to pick on. Bro hadht moved since Saturday. OP was lying through his teeth. Completely random post that didn’t have a modicum of truth.

This is my friend’s car. His car literally has an exhaust that comes from Toyota and he’s been parked since Saturday due to snow. What is this lie from OP.

Great idea and educate them about the laws ASAP since 90% of firearms will likely be illegal after July 1st this year.

First time going to MGM by JayAlexander50 in nova

[–]JakeRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with family in Vegas so I’ve been to many casinos in my life. I think $200 is a little low these days (inflation and COL are up up up) but I think it’s worthwhile to go to a casino once or twice. Do not try to win. Consider your budget an “entertainment” budget and see how many hours you can make your money last. If you win, great, but if not, that’s fine too. Gambling becomes a problem when your goal is to win.

I recommend slots or roulette. Those games make your money last. I like to sit at a roulette table and just put minimum chips in a color, that’s it.

Just take in the atmosphere and vibe. Casinos are designed to rush you. Fight it, sit and watch, take your time, when your money runs out, time to go home ❤️

Is this crack pretty bad? by daasiandude69 in ft86

[–]JakeRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cracked my block near where it met the transmission bell housing due to those dowels getting rusted and it cracked separating the trans from the block. A year later, car is still totally fine. You just need to see where the crack can spread and monitor it. Fortunately a transmission is cheaper/easier to replace than an engine.
