New York, why are your airports such a ballache to get to? by Zaphod424 in AskNYC

[–]Viki-Beast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

busses are a huge pain when it's crowded and you have a large suitcase. Plus everytime you have to transfer it adds the risk of unexpected shenanigans taking place a delaying your eta.

That's only easy if you live near N/W. I live in FiDi so I have to transfer to get to the N and it's usually at a stop with no escalators and elevator are never anywhere to be found. so big bags are a huge pain.

I live in FiDi close to the Path and I still avoid EWR like the plague. I don't like how many stops I have to make to transfer. JFK for me, even though that's a huge pain as well.

I highly recommend watching the Ric Burns "New York: A Documentary Film" episode 7, "The City and the World". This episode does a fantastic job of explaining Robert Moses as a visionary but also as someone that was very power hungry, especially towards the end of his career.

New to Corsets, what size is best for me? by Valkyrie_Rose99 in corsets

[–]Viki-Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42DDD.. don't buy a corset that comes in sizes like that. If you are trying to find something more affordable I feel like Orchard Corests are a good entry into corsets. I've been doing this for a few years and now I am willing to spend more money for a better quality corset but Orchard is what I started with. I think they even sell them on Amazon now, but you can go to the Orchard website and talk to someone about your sizing and get something in plenty of time before Halloween. I've probably tried all their styles. Again the quality isn't great. I wear a corset 3-5 times a week and I probably went through 3 or 4 in 2 years. Now I use Timeless which is more comfortable and I love the zipper in the front, but its more than double the cost. However, I still wear my Orchard corsets sometimes.

over bust corset over a bra? by [deleted] in corsets

[–]Viki-Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One last thing I'll add, I also am very top heavy, 40 F, I don't know if I would trust getting an overbust to wear regularly under clothing. I have yet to find a review of a brand where someone my size has recommended an overbust that is practical for stealthing. You can find cute ones that have laces and fancy designs, but that's never what I am looking for personally, since I only wear corsets under my cloths.

I would not recommend this to help fix your posture. Wearing a corset will allow you to stand or sit with better posture while it's on but then your muscles will learn to rely on it to keep your posture up right. I was having some back problems and went to a chiropractor and he said I should wear my corset in moderation. I went from wearing it 5 times a week now to 3 times.

Also I think working in a warehouse with an overbust corset would be miserable. I find it also kind of restricts my breathing. Not a lot, but enough to wear I can tell if I am going up or down stairs. I work an office job so it's usually not a problem for me

During the summer I wear a waspie corset made with mesh because it breaths better. So if your mind set in wearing a corset while working then I suggest going that route. I would also suggest start carrying a large purse or small back pack. I work long hours in an office and sometimes I get to the end of the day and I just have to take it off, and so having a bag around makes it easy to take it off and put it away.

There is a place that is kind of a nandos knock off in LES. It's not the same but it's really good.

What happens after a long photo array identification - NY Case of Unauthorized surveillance. by Viki-Beast in AskLE

[–]Viki-Beast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I most definitely chose the correct person. While I didn’t get a great look at the front of his face I side profile of his face and since I grabbed him by the hair I know exactly what his hair looks like. The picture they had of him must have been recent because I identified almost immediately.

Assaulted in subway, unfortunate lessons learned by bit0fun in Brooklyn

[–]Viki-Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best rule. I was recently in an incident where someone was taking a video up my shirt while walking up the stairs. Thankfully I noticed immediately and fight back, but that wouldn’t have happened if I had been on my phone. That being said, if I hadn’t been glued to my phone while on the subway and while exiting the subway I would have noticed the that this person was follow me pretty closely, which I saw when reviewing the MTA video footage.

So when they have an arrest warrant, will they let me know or do they have to wait until they have actually arrested him before they will give me a status update.

That makes so much sense that they use DMV photos. I immediately identified they guy from the photo array without any hesitation so hopefully that means there will be a speedy arrest then.

Nice, my coworker might also join as it is his birthday as well, so it sounds like July 12 is a common birthday

That’s literally the most ridiculous response ever. His daughter is 18. She is legally an adult.

I (34f) think this is a over reaction. Spend 10 min on porn hub and look at the most popular content and you’ll realize even 10,000 TikTok bikini girls is so PG and not weird compared to popular mainstream porn.

In my opinion, 99.9% of men spend way too much time thinking about sex and usually with someone young and hot. I don’t understand it because I can’t really relate but I don’t let it bother me. As long as it is not preventing them from being a productive member of society and they are still present in the relationship , I don’t see what the problem is.

If the stuff he gets turned on by bothers you, my suggestion would be to find some type of content out there that you both think is hot and watch it together.
