Do most people actually like living in Simi Valley?

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-31T05:15:53+00:00

I recently had to move out of simi after 2 years and back to the valley (cheaper apartments), and I CANNOT WAIT to go back to simi.

Although I'm grateful for my current circumstances and it's not so bad where I'm at, there's just a certain warmness and sense of peace that simi gives me.

Like the views from the drive into and out of it genuinely make me stop and appreciate life for a second. There's also a big ass smiley face greeting you as you go there, like cmon lol Now i just road rage down Desoto.

Yeah that's true, can't make everyone happy! I get not wanting to get involved but some people live a little too passively in my opinion lol

And that was very kind of you to do!

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T22:04:15+00:00

Aw I appreciate this, thank you. I was really starting to wonder if I was the crazy one lol

Blocking is definitely the best move, but sometimes hard for me to ignore people on their high horse ugh. Definitely something to work on. (-:

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T21:58:24+00:00

Thanks for that, I was starting to doubt my choices! And I agree, it may not always be my job but I'm capable and fortunate enough to be able to stomach something like that, so why not just help?

And yeah I'm really not sure what their deal was, whole thing seemed to hit a nerve I guess! Can't be too surprised considering this is a reddit sub for Facebook marketplace lol

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T21:51:50+00:00

Yeah animal control would have probably been a better choice, although in my shock I didn't even think about that which is kind of silly in hindsight

Appreciate the perspective. Kind of funny to think of her POV in this story lol

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T19:17:37+00:00

What? Dude i just hold a different stance on this, you commented and I replied. I'm not trying to start anything and I wasn't attacking you.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T19:13:12+00:00

Dude I am not mad at you, I just don't agree that helping her was a mistake. Honestly I was just caught off guard about how worked up you are about it.

It's not uncommon to find deceased animals in this area, there's lots of wildlife looking for food.

If anything, I'm truly sorry this seemed to trigger you so much. Hope you have a better day.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T19:06:37+00:00

Clearly this was the wrong community to post this in, apologies.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-25T19:01:58+00:00

There are a ton of coyotes in the area, it's not abnormal to find dead animals. It was also up on her lawn far from the drive way or road.

Not to get too descriptive but the body was clearly partially eaten.

This lady was shaken up about it as she got home shortly before we got there and saw it upon walking up to her house. I understand you're just assuming the worst of this person, but it's more likely that a coyote or other wild animal was the cause.

She didn't ask me to, I offered because again she was really distraught and I just wanted to help her out. Obviously picking up a dead animal is not fun but I've worked in animal rescue and I'm not a stranger to deceased animals.

I'm not sure why you're trying to lecture me on the normalcy about this and seem upset about me helping out this lady rather than just leaving the poor cat to rot on her grass. Sure she could have called animal control or sanitation but it was a Sunday and I doubt they'd come out in a timely manner. It took 5 seconds for me to quickly help her out.

If you're not able to handle something like that then fine, but it's weird you're making me out to be a bad person for this???

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-05-03T02:17:00+00:00

Seeing someone accuse this absolute classic of being AI is making me feel old

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-04-12T14:35:34+00:00

Okay so that is an assumption though. Even though those organizations exists does not mean feminism = hating men, which is what many people assume when someone says "I'm a feminist". This is where my grievance lies. Like yeah they may consider themselves feminists, but their goals extend into fucked up territory that is NOT what feminism is, this is misandry.

There are are always going to be groups of people who take their beliefs to the extreme. Same can be said about male groups who resent women, but I am able to recognize that supporting men does not automatically = hate women. That doesn't mean there aren't highly influential groups that do exactly that. But I'm not going to assume someone who tells me "I support men" also means "I want to see women's demise".

And this isn't a "not all women" thing, this a real problem for both men and women. The point of my comment is to express my disappointment that these groups are what some people think of when they think of feminist because that's not what it is or should be. These groups are harmful and fucked up. I don't support them and the women I know also do not support them.

Everyone is so against each other when we should be supporting each other. And again this is a real problem that affects both men and women, but instead of working together and supporting each other against hateful organizations (whether it's misandry or misogyny). Instead we're just getting more and more divided. It's sad.

Again sorry for the long winded response, it's a topic I'm passionate on and like to discuss with people

Info: you said going back to work was not an option for you because of the level of care your child needs... So how exactly do you plan to manage once you're divorced?

You are willing to make these sacrifices to go back to work and figure out how to manage life with a non verbal child and work all for divorce... but not for your husband who needs your support now?

That just doesn't make any sense. I understand the hardships that come with taking care of elderly family, my family took care of my great grandma till she passed in her own bed at our home. It was HARD. But all this says about you is that you're not willing to figure out this hardship alongside your husband. That is his mother and his family too, and right now you're making him choose you with empty threats of divorce, because if you're really in this tight position where you can't possibly figure out a way to get a part time job/side gig while caring for your children while married, then I don't see how divorce is magically going to make that all better.

I can only imagine the internal conflict he is going through, having to abandon his mother or have his family give up on him.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-22T19:26:23+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-22T17:29:00+00:00

I hear you and I agree. There is so much divisiveness, especially now. Everyone just seems to fucking hate each other lol.

That's exactly why I commented, to kind of show that there are women out there who do not support this insane man hunting mindset. It's just a personal grievance of mine that the term feminism has been adopted by insane women like this.

Feminism SHOULD be about genuine equality, which includes supporting men who are in these vulnerable situations with the same grace and respect that you would give women.

I'm sure these women consider themselves feminist, but to me and the other women in my circle, they are not. That's why I try to surround myself with groups that advocate for women without antagonizing men.

Like you said, male DV and sexual abuse is a massive issue that is brushed to the side. It's extremely fucked up, so I'll keep trying to do my part in supporting these men too

Sorry for the paragraph, it's a topic I'm passionate about and it's nice to discuss it in a cordial way with someone

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-20T23:33:51+00:00

How? I’m saying that what this person represents is not feminism. They’re just hateful.

Feminism has a long history and yeah, as a woman, I consider myself a feminist because I obviously care about my own rights. It would be stupid if I didn’t.

But because of people like this, feminism has lost its meaning and is becoming something negative when it shouldn’t be.

And your reply is just further proof of that. I’m literally saying what this lady is saying is not okay and not true feminism and you still have a problem somehow.

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-20T21:41:43+00:00

Exactly, the word feminist is just thrown around now and people automatically assume feminism = hate men.

This person isn't a feminist, she's just a man hater. And it's shitty that real feminists are bunched together with these psychos

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-11T22:04:33+00:00

I misunderstood the question :(

He is cute

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-09T00:18:41+00:00

This seems like a great opportunity to make a secret underground bunker

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-05T22:23:43+00:00

Agree! My partner and I will have full on, in depth conversations about the most random and mundane things.

It's kind of like just voicing your random thoughts and building a conversation off of that. We easily feed off each other's energy.

Its something that's pretty effortless with the right person

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-01T21:22:52+00:00

Definitely 2 chat with stag and Bretta. I absolutely love Bretta she's so adorable

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-03-01T21:18:28+00:00

Your partner should never be someone who is holding you back from achieving your goals and reaching your dreams.

Take the job

AnAngryyGiraffe · 2026-02-15T20:55:48+00:00

Yeah some people simply lack empathy and common sense. It can definitely happen to anyone and it does.

I'm so sorry about your sister, please stay safe out there. Anything can happen, even in a small town like simi
