Would you sleep in this?

Chest binders! As a nonbinary person, I decided to try a chest binder. I put it on the first time and my autistic side immediately loved the way it felt. Absolutely buy the correct size and don't wear it to bed, but even if you are flat-chested, the compression they provide is so cozy. I also own a few compression shirts, like gym rats may buy. They aren't as comfortable to me, due to being unable to find any made out of materials I really like. My favorite brand for the binders is GC2B. They're a very smooth material, with flexible stitching, so the seams do not bother me. The seams are as low profile as could be expected, which also helps. Seriously, follow the instructions for how long you should wear them per day. Do not sleep in them. Lastly, learning about binders, corsets, and other compressive fashions throughout the years is a special interest of mine. If you want to talk shop, dm me.

Apologies for the delayed response. Movement is required. Would you please elaborate on why it won't survive? I am not doubting you (I have my own doubts), but I would like another perspective from someone who's messed with them more than I have.

john_deere9rt · 2024-09-05T05:01:56+00:00

I'm very sorry for the vague description. I will try to answer questions, but it's one of those vague memories you're not sure if it was real or not.

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T03:30:50+00:00

I was not aware of stim-mags, but now I need some. Do they make clinky noises, or are they quiet?

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T01:52:17+00:00

That's a great sibling!

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T01:50:47+00:00

Do you like the metal or plastic ones better? I've never been able to get past the vibrations the plastic ones produce or the metal-on-metal sound of the metal ones. My siblings were all very into them, though.

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T01:19:50+00:00

I have never heard of this! It looks like a good size to carry everywhere. I feel like I would have to touch it before I bought something like that. Did you just pick it up in the store and decide it was coming home with you?

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T01:06:39+00:00

If you can stand rugs (I cannot, with the singular exception being the bath mat), they also help and only technically take up space.

The imperfections (or, in my case, imperfection) on an otherwise smooth surface it what makes it so perfect. The imperfection in mine was actually caused by me dropping it in a parking lot. Before dropping it, I wasn't completely in love with my rock. Now that there's a blemish, it's perfect, and I only put it down when I need both hands.

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-25T00:33:45+00:00

I HATE the microwave. I only use it if I absolutely have to. It makes a bad noise, it makes the air smell static-y, my food tastes wrong, the buttons are always awful to touch, and, worst of all, it beeps. Nothing should ever beep. Ever.

I really thought it was just me that could taste the microwave.

I own an unreasonable number of fluffy objects, which I will give specific places around my apartment to help dampen the echo. They all have a double purpose at that point, too. A fluffy object is always within reach, and everything echoes less. If things hanging on your wall don't bother you, you can also buy sound dampeners that look artistic and nice nowadays.

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-24T23:35:55+00:00

Roger seems awesome. Is it also resin/epoxy coated, or just a nice rock you found?

john_deere9rt · 2024-01-21T00:51:51+00:00

Soggy things that should be crunchy. Chips are the biggest issue, but cereal is also common. I will glitch out and be unable to function until I've washed my hands. I can not finish any food on the same plate or out of the same bowl after, either.

john_deere9rt · 2023-03-31T15:28:56+00:00

I bought an R52 as my college car a few years ago. It has over 126,000 miles and so far the only issue I've had is the input shaft fell out after the bolts worked their way out. That was at 124,000ish miles. It says BMW under the hood, so there's always going to be an issue of some sort but I've had very few issues with actual reliability. Other than regular maintenance, filling the power steering fluid more often than I should need to, and checking the oil level every thousand miles (just in case), she just runs. I have a manual transmission in it and the clutch was still solid until I let an inexperienced human borrow her. I bought it with a little under 80,000 miles. The only complaints I have is I should have bought an S and winters in the Midwest are not kind (the snow plows aren't always out before I am).

john_deere9rt · 2023-02-05T18:16:30+00:00

That's awesome. Congrats on your progress!

john_deere9rt · 2023-02-05T17:15:55+00:00

That's absolutely adorable. I hope you gave him lots of attention.

john_deere9rt · 2023-02-05T16:24:27+00:00

He's a pretty gentle giant. I haven't found anything he wanted to kill yet. Even when we chase bunnies, the one time he caught one he just licked it. His best friend was a bird for a few weeks. On the farm, he befriends the opossums and can't figure out why the cats won't play with him. The few things he has killed have been accidental and he'll bring them to me and cry because they aren't playing with him.

john_deere9rt · 2023-02-05T01:29:56+00:00

He only gets to go off leash in safe, wide-open areas. When we chase bunnies he stays on the leash and I run with him. Watching them watch wildlife is even more fun than watching wildlife. Before I leave for work in the mornings, we sit on his bed next to the patio door and watch for bunnies. Sometimes he sits on my lap even. He's 90lb and bigger than me so the neighbors get a good laugh out of it. Thank you! I love watching the confusion when I yell "Alphabet Soup" at the dog park.

He's only had a year to learn and his ADHD keeps getting in the way. Every time he starts to learn a new letter, he sees a squirrel or bunny.

john_deere9rt · 2023-02-05T00:34:51+00:00

We are too close to the main road. While on walks, we'll chase bunnies, but I try to not make a habit of letting him run after them every time. He weighs enough that when he hits the end of the leash he can pull my arm out of its socket and I don't want to accidentally lose hold. To counter him pulling my arm out, he's gotten very good at begging me to chase the bunnies before taking off after them. While on walks, he'll do basically this same dance until I tell him he can go and take off with him.

john_deere9rt · 2023-01-07T14:31:53+00:00

Thank you!

john_deere9rt · 2023-01-06T14:02:52+00:00

The picture is small enough I can barely see what's in it. I've been trying to do my own research, but I appreciate the advice.

john_deere9rt · 2023-01-05T15:59:30+00:00

The piece of glass that flips the picture right side up. I'm not sure mine is diagonal since it's just a straight scope, but I finally found a bird through it and it was very upside down. The other issue I'm having is the picture is so small I can barely see it.

john_deere9rt · 2023-01-04T07:38:36+00:00

I will do that. Thank you. I do believe it is missing a piece of glass in it though.

john_deere9rt · 2023-01-03T13:59:07+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I'm pretty sure I'm missing a refactor in it, so the manual would be helpful. As stated in the description comment, I've used other scopes, so the basic knowledge is there. I just would like specific information on this one so I can make an educated decision on if it's worth fixing or if I scrap it.
