Payday loans

If you don't know what pay day loans are, it's exactly what they it sounds like. You can go into a place that will loan you money if you have proof of employment in your last pay stub and they will forward you money to pay them back when you get paid. Unfortunately, America is a country that profits off of debt so Payday Loan places are a dime a dozen. Where is some places are trying to make them illegal or at least limit them, there are too many states and cities that are trying to have an abundance of them.

Payday Loan places are very predatory, and are usually aimed at the impoverished community. Instead of teaching people how to budget and manage their finances, it's more profitable to have the interest in the payday loans paid instead.

I know that not every place has these. And there are probably a lot of places that have had these that have made them illegal, or extremely limited. America needs to stop profiting off of debt, and completely eradicated payday loan systems. And student that, but that's a different story for a different time.

Garnet is the superior parent for Steven

why do people think Pearl is the better of the three mothers for Steven? She almost let him die twice, almost got Connie killed, and almost killed Steven. And she didn't spare him because he's Stephen, she spared him because he's half Rose. She's made it clear on multiple occasions that she is not safe to be left alone with impressionable or vulnerable people.

amethyst is arguably also just as dangerous, but in a very different way. Her lack of self-care and self-reflection makes her dangerous to herself and others around her, but she has never willingly almost killed Steven or almost let him die. But it is arguable that she has almost gotten Steven killed. that rises the question that if opal were a permafusion would he be safe with her?

Speaking of perma fusions, The only other person aside from Greg that has proven themselves to be better for Stevens physical health is garnet. She has never almost killed him, never almost let him die, and never almost got him killed. In fact, she had an identity crisis and almost went crazy before simply realizing that Steven didn't need her help and protection like he used to. One could argue that she was obsessed with protecting him!

ironically enough, he became his own Catalyst trying protecting the other two from the one who was protecting him the most. Although garnet's love usually takes a physical form, there have been multiple occasions where she's been there for him emotionally, when the other two have emotionally or mentally manipulated him. And we already know that he isn't safe with the other fusions. He's not safe with sardonyx because of Pearl and he's not safe with sugilite because of amethyst. Obviously, he's not necessarily safe with Alexandrite. He's not even safe with Ruby or Sapphire separately. He's only safe with Garnet, aside from Greg. But I am willing to concede that without the other two he would have very limited character growth, because of the previously mentioned aspect that Garnet would be obsessed with protecting him. She was very undeniably that we're done shaky mix of stepping back and letting him grow, but still often caging him in to a roll of weakness. she wouldn't allow the others to put him down, but when she said stop it was time to stop. But, in all fairness, that went for everyone.

I'm not taking away from the fact that they all work together to help Steven grow and all play intricate rolls. I'm just saying that as far as picking one has to go, the Superior choice is obviously Garnet -for better and for worse. Not to suggest that Garnet would be appropriate directly partnered with Greg in the rearing of Steven. That's a HARD NO!

Active town, commuter train

For a few weeks I was having a recurring dream of being in a seemingly small but very lively town. The town had a lot of glowing aspects but one thing that was very out of the ordinary was it had a commuter train that only came at night after most things closed that took first generation East Asian immigrants out to what could be realistically interpreted as suburb. It seemed like it take hours to get there because the sun would be up at the location and that they were going to. I wasn't able to make it to the train in every dream, but if I did make it the dream would stop before we got to the stop where the people are going. from what I could tell out the window, it was a place that was offset from water, like an island and it was either a town or a city but it was a place where only they lived and they came into the town where my dream initially would take place to work, I assume. it looks like a beautiful place to be, but I was never able to get off the train to see it. At least not that I remember.
