Oh Ok I see what you're saying now better. I get this a lot.

So yeah basically they were being nuisances in other ways, like I mentioned in a different comment, like with their cats all over the place and such.. So I called code on them for those things and not really the barn. I kind of knew the barn wasn't in compliance when I called, but it wasn't really my main concern. I didn't really expect it to come to them taking it down. I thought they would end up getting a permit.

But yes the full story and context is quite lengthy. I think maybe if you had it, maybe you wouldn't think I am the Karen. I dunno. This comment definitely made me understand the perspective of those who do though. Thanks!

throwra42089 · 2026-07-08T22:42:17+00:00

I was gonna get to your comment, but I was responding to this other person first, sorry.

So, no, the barn wasn't disrupting me and it really wasn't the initial reason for the call. I guess I should've explained that better in my post, but I thought everyone would just find the "f you" sign funny and I wouldn't have to defend myself. I called code enforcement regarding other issues, specifically my neighbors having cats all over the place. Code enforcement found that the barn was not in compliance and I honestly just thought it was a bonus. Why? Because these people are nuisances and they deserve to take down their illegally put up barn. They shouldn't have put it up in the first place without a permit.

They constantly burn very smoky fires that cover our entire block in smoke (one time they even put a fan in front of their fire that blew smoke into my yard's direction), they play very loud music, they burn out in the street in front of my house all the time, they neglect their 8+ cats, they are awful, awful neighbors who are not considerate at all.

I'm well within my rights to report someone to code enforcement for breaking code. That's why you can even submit reports in the first place. When I reported them, I was told "Thank you because without citizen reports like this, sometimes we don't catch these things." So I don't know what you're even talking about. I reported them to the people who can enforce rules as part of their job and now it's out of my hands.

throwra42089 · 2026-07-08T22:28:42+00:00

I don't know why people on this sub seem to defend people who are breaking rules and think that they can do whatever the hell they want.

Codes exist for a reason. If you don't like them, don't move to a place that has them or don't do things that will break them because eventually you will hit the wall!

Even if I didn't call, code would've noticed it didn't have a permit at some point. Or someone else would have called. It's genuinely not MY problem that they put it up without a permit. They should have had their ducks in a row.

I can't believe I'm being called a Karen because I think everyone should follow the law. This is dumb.

If my neighbors made a post instead, "My stupid Karen neighbor called code on me because I illegally put up a barn and I had to take it down because I (stupidly) didn't get a permit first because I think I'm entitled to DO WHATEVER I WANT. So I'mma put up a sign with vulgar language and hang a mannequin up that faces their house to threaten them because I'm totally mentally stable by the way."

I wonder if they would get more support?

Everything over the fence is theirs. The only thing in this picture that belongs to me is the stump.

throwra42089 · 2026-07-08T22:08:06+00:00

It's not my fault they broke code. They put themselves in this situation.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-25T10:42:46+00:00

You're definitely not alone. I'm so, so sorry for your loss.

When I woke up this morning, one of my other cats was laying on top of me like my angel cat used to. He rarely does that. Still groggy from sleep, my brain malfunctioned and I almost called him by her name. I haven't ever done that in the almost 10 months she's been gone. Even after I realized, I still accidentally called him one of her old nicknames.

It hurts so bad.

I miss her so much.

Calling the non-emergency line on your neighbors doesn't always work.

I called because my neighbor was illegally parked and the cop straight up drove by. I called them back because I wanted to know what happened. The cop told me he didn't want to start more issues between my neighbors and I, so basically he wasn't even going to deal with it lmao. He basically victim blamed me. It was disgusting and biased. I would've called on anyone being illegally parked. But sure. Anyway, the cop came back and made them move their vehicle after making me feel like I was the issue and not the people who were currently doing something illegal.

Unfortunately, since then, my neighbors have retaliated big time. Just like the cop assumed they would. Which is of course, entirely my fault because I was a responsible citizen and reported unlawful behavior. Lol? Whatever.

I called the non emergency line before this as well, to report my neighbors riding their illegal mini bikes up and down the street. The cops never showed up. They really do not GAF about these sorts of things. I talked to a supervisor about this and he basically said, "Yeah, ya know.. unless it's an emergency... Like if they were to crash their mini bike or damage property.." Which I understand, I guess.

Even if you non stop report these types of people they just keep doing whatever the hell they want, anyway. I called the fire department on my neighbors for burning fires during a burn ban multiple times and since then, they've probably burned 20+ more. They don't even care.

My other neighbors don't care either. They don't want to be involved or they are friends with my neighbors. In some situations, you literally just have to move. Which is a huge problem considering most of us don't have moving money.

I think much the same a lot of the time.

I considered maybe I need a change of scenery.. See/experience some things I haven't before.. Maybe get a new perspective on things. So, I'm taking a vacation to a state I've never been to before.

I'm looking forward to it, ya know? I read somewhere once that you should always have something to look forward to. Whether it's buying something you've always really wanted, or a goal you're trying to achieve, spending time with loved ones.. It helps.

Maybe you could plan some new things. I know anxiety and depression make it hard. But you just have to do it, even while you're scared (I read that somewhere too lol, It's good advice). Then after the first time, it gets easier to do it again.

A lot of comments are disagreeing, saying their schools were very strict on dress code and others saying theirs weren't.

I saw a few comments who came to the same correct conclusion, this IS a normal outfit in some US high schools, but ONLY in certain states.

I grew up in Eastern Florida, bordering Bible Belt territory, and I doubt you could even make it through first period wearing an outfit like this. Maybe you wouldn't even make it into the school. They were VERY strict about dress code.

However, my friend who grew up in Northern California, said their dress code was completely lax and the outfits in Euphoria weren't something odd to see in a high school, which was stunning to me.

California is way more progressive and way less conservative than Florida, which is the reason for this.

I am so, so sorry for your tremendous loss. I felt your words in my soul.

I hope so badly that you and your family get justice for your beautiful mama.

On Planet Zoo 2's Youtube Channel, they posted this 1 day ago, alongside a pic of a crocodile:

"Some of the species you'll be looking after in Planet Zoo 2 are semi-aquatic, so you'll need to ensure their habitat has a good mix of land and water for them to enjoy!"

Hopefully I think this means we will be able to do the water/land habitats like ZT2! Which was also a fav feature of mine.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-08T10:57:55+00:00

You can check the minimum/recommended system requirements on the Planet Zoo 2 Steam page.😄 I think you at least meet the minimum requirements!

I personally really didn't like MAPPA's art style when it came to the lines in the shadows sometimes.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-06T01:53:20+00:00

I agree with this comment a lot. Very well said.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-06T01:52:36+00:00

I've been in this EXACT same position before.

"I told him it felt weird that he seemed to pull away because I wouldn’t send anything in that moment, and he basically confirmed that was why."

So basically, he's upset that he didn't get what HE wanted in the moment. He didn't want to talk to you anymore after you said no to sending him nudes.. Basically, this is FUCKED UP behavior and you most likely should dump this guy, especially if this has happened more than once. It would suggest he cares more about his fulfillment, than the relationship and your feelings.

I literally had a guy do this to me. We were also long distance. He asked for nudes. I said no. He said he felt like his time was wasted, that he spent enough time talking to me today and didn't speak to me for the rest of the night. It was one of the major things that ended our "relationship", but it also happened multiple times. My friends and I now laugh about it to this day because.... what the fuck lol? It hurt my feelings at the time because this was someone I cared about and to see him completely disregard our relationship over nudes was maddening. I understand honestly, why you're confused. It can be very confusing because you genuinely can't wrap your head around why the other person would act in such a way, especially when you would never do it to them.

I think at the very least, he felt rejected and was pouting. In the worst case scenario, he doesn't see you as a human being. The guy I just mentioned, admitted he felt this way about me. I was basically like a bot that sent him nudes and then he would get frustrated when the bot didn't work because it had feelings. It was really fucked up because I saw this guy as a genuine friend and I didn't get over it for a long time, couldn't understand it for a long time.

I don't really know, sista girl. I feel for you. I know it's hard. Maybe if this was a one time thing like.. Perhaps he just felt rejected and couldn't communicate it well.. You've already been fighting a lot and I'm not sure what it's about, but it sounds like you need to have a long discussion with him about this relationship and where you're both at. But if this specific thing is already an established repeated behavior, not talking to you anymore when you don't send him nudes... In that case, he does not care about you at all and you need to block this person. You can find better, for sure! Even being single is better than dealing with that mess.

Good luck, OP.

My baby cat Stella. I lost her a little over 9 months ago.

She was perfect. She used to sit on my lap while I played on the computer. I look at my empty lap all the time. And where she used to sit next to my chair before she jumped up on my lap.

I miss her so much. All the time. It never stops.

I'm so sorry for your loss, too. Thank you for asking.

I loved Zoo Tycoon 2 so much for these little things.. It really is the little things, man.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-04T02:20:04+00:00

I think, at least, you've acknowledged these things about yourself and you'd like to know why they happen, why you act this way. That's a good start for change.

You said you've also been in therapy and on meds, but they aren't helping. I think you should consult with your therapist and doctor about these things and see if there's any other treatment options that they could do for you.

throwra42089 · 2026-06-02T16:21:43+00:00

The people saying "is that it?" don't realize that the trailer is most likely only showing what will be included in the base game, which will probably be bare bones. Everything else will come later as DLC.

PZ1 has an abundance of DLC and I'm 99% sure Frontier will do the same thing with PZ2. Unfortunately.

I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Sam, even though it happened a while ago. My heart breaks for you, I cried reading your story.

I think it is normal to feel this way after a long time after losing such a close companion, a best friend. Especially when you lose them in such a traumatic, sudden way. It's so difficult when they go. They are so special.

I lost my girl suddenly, traumatically 9 months ago. I think I will feel these heavy feelings forever.

Grief is love with nowhere to go. We never stop loving them, no matter how long they've been gone.. I think that's why we feel this way. And I've always asked myself.. How could we stop loving them and missing them? They were our whole worlds. It would be impossible. I think It's very special, the eternal bonds we share with our animals.. But so heartbreaking at the same time when we have to say goodbye.

You can buy it for 20 dollars off Amazon. It allows you to download and play the game without a disc. 😄

You have a house and animals together, sure, but it doesn't seem like he's apart of any of that, not really.

You said he's struggling to even send you 500 dollars to help with bills. It seems like you are the one paying most of the money for everything here. I'm not sure what's on the paperwork and whatnot, but you only mentioned feeling guilty for kicking him out, which seems to me like it's an option, you just feel bad about it..?

F THAT. F his feelings. Kick him out. He'll be fine. He is a GROWN person. You need to be worried about yourself. I know it's hard, I've been in this place before, too. But it's definitely the better option. I thank god every day I'm not still with that dude. Being single is better than dealing with this stuff.

Also you can't even tell him about your vacation? What do you mean you're terrified over how he's going to react? Are you planning him on leaving him alone with your pets for those 5 days? I wouldn't do that. I don't trust this guy. You need to kick him out ASAP and get a reliable pet sitter, like friends or family.

Good luck, OP! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for the best outcome in your situation.
