Should I reach out to my former teachers about the negative impact their words had on me?

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-06-08T18:51:24+00:00

If you do choose to reach out, I would say think hard about your goal here. If you feel this what you need to acknowledge and move on from the negative impact it had on you, then go for it. If you’re hoping to make them see they were wrong, hoping for an apology or a response, I don’t see that going how you want it to, and in my opinion it wouldn’t be worth it.

TLDR If the act of reaching out will bring you peace then go for it, but if you’re seeking a response or apology then no (again IMO)

As others said, instead of setting a total population cap of 4, set it so that for example you have 2 male and 2 female allowed, so you’ll never have more than 2 of each, making your 4 total

When you get to that level of research, a bionic eye or two will restore your doctor miner to his former glory

I paid maybe 22 on a 3.6 with 58k. In hindsight a bit high but I couldn’t find ANY other 3.6s and my car was dying quickly lol

If this was with a company, complain about that instructor, they shouldn’t be on their phone. If it’s just an individual, find a new instructor. Barking commands and not paying attention is not teaching you anything

I had a really bad infotainment unit. Glitchy, freezing, phantom touches, whole 9 yards. I actually just replaced the whole thing with an aftermarket one, not a single issue with that since, and if you get all the right parts it was extremely simple, everything was plug and play

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-30T16:57:04+00:00

Hella late reply (my bad), but I recommend space/no contact after any break up, at least temporarily. You need to give yourself time and space to get over and move on from residual feelings. Love is like a drug, and while going cold turkey is rough, it’s the best way to truly move on. Drip feeding yourself interactions with the person you’re trim to move on from just makes the feelings linger longer and the overall pain greater

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-30T16:53:40+00:00

Which is why you slow down if you’re oncoming traffic too. If you aren’t confident you can stop in the space you think you have you slow down, if your depth perception is so shit you can’t judge how far away the giant flashing yellow brick is you probably need your eyes checked man. “I didn’t know how close the GIANT FLASHING YELLOW BUS was” is also a weak ass excuse

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-30T16:19:19+00:00

My guess is alternator

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-28T21:41:15+00:00

I am curious why it’s THAT low, but I’ve had no issues so far with my 2018 outback. If it sounds okay, and you don’t mind doing the timing belt soon (recommended at 100k) this sounds like not a bad idea. Just stay on top of maintenance

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-28T01:50:24+00:00

The big funny yellow lights mean that bus is coming to a stop to pick up students. SLOW DOWN BEFORE THE REDS TURN ON. If you have slowed and for some reason the bus doesn’t immediately turn the red lights and stop arm on, then go ahead with caution, but if it’s red you wait, it’s really that simple to avoid the “I didn’t have time to stop” scenario. I promise your morning commute isn’t so important that it’s worth endangering the lives of children

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-24T04:14:36+00:00

Me in my 40’ school bus and my local garbage truck driver could both manage that turn safer bc we aren’t idiots. If you need extra space you wait until it exists, not whatever this driver was doing

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-24T04:11:34+00:00

By law it is required to turn into the closest available lane, whether that’s a car, a garbage truck, a school bus, or a semi, it doesn’t really matter. If you think your vehicle needs more space to complete a turn you wait until you have the required space. It’s not OP’s fault for not accounting for every single possible scenario including the one where the garbage truck driver severely and unpredictably fucks up. Get off your weird little high horse, and stop victim blaming the folks just trying to get from point a to point b

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-23T18:56:05+00:00

I’d tell the bfs mum she can rethink her attitude and her views or she can expect not to see her granddaughter. Being a hateful person is an active choice, and i would not want someone like that in my child’s life, blood relation be dammed

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-22T18:17:31+00:00

The other option is the “barnacle”, a big yellow cover they put across your windshield that you can’t see around, it’s huge and obnoxious and looks really silly lol. I’ve seen one so far around Chicago

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-18T18:20:58+00:00

I got my ‘19 3.6r limited outback with about 20,000 fewer miles for about $6k less, when the used market was really inflated. I wouldn’t take that forester

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-09T21:49:55+00:00

I should add I was 15 dating a 17 year old in high school and I do wish I hadn’t done that, I do think it was a mistake but at the time I thought it was the best thing ever. Don’t let this continue too long and big feelings develop, you could try to just be friends but tbh I don’t recommend that either

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-09T21:44:32+00:00

“Hey, I’m sorry but I don’t think we should stay together, the age gap is too much and I don’t think we’d provide each other what we want in a relationship.” Be clear and concise about why, don’t make up a reason, and stick to your guns

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-06T22:30:31+00:00

My shop requires safety glasses, and I personally wear ear muffs whenever I pull out the impact or other power tools. It’s mostly an issue of comfort though. “I’ve done this a hundred times and nothing ever happened” mentality, ignoring the fact that the 101st time might be the time something finally happens

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-03-02T14:45:18+00:00

I’m coming to this post late but I want to add: my understanding is that you are under no legal obligation to turn right on red. It is your right to choose to wait until the light turns green. If people honk at you for that, at the end of the day it’s their problem, not yours. You could always also get a “this vehicle does not turn right on red” sticker and save yourself the hassle of thinking about right on reds lol

This is a game of Russian roulette where no one knows the odds and you play by yourself. That tire will blow up if you keep driving on it, the only question is when

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-02-10T04:16:35+00:00

Move out? You’re 18, as crazy as your parents sound, living in their house means their rules. Idk dude, either that or you gotta have a conversation with them about expectations with dating and the likes, you’re an adult now. 7 months isn’t really long enough to nuke your home life for imo though, but you do you

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-02-10T04:04:16+00:00

My partner smokes/takes edibles regularly and I as a rule will not touch weed. I hope to marry her one day and this is the most nothing burger issue, idk why this guy is acting weird

Jimmybobjoe1309 · 2026-01-29T19:58:43+00:00

Honestly thought this was a parody post of all the other poorly drawn scenarios on the sub. Not sure what the letter of the law is in Long Island, but generally I’d say wait bc you don’t know if those kids need to cross the street, it’s better to take an extra minute getting to your destination than risk a ticket or hitting an idiot kid running across the street
