In a way, Ruby and Sapphire are kinda like childhood sweethearts who’ve been together so long that when something rattles their relationship they don’t quite know who they are outside the context of the relationship. They may or may not get back together, but they certainly benefit from exploring themselves alone so they can feel more confident in themselves.

I really love Ruby’s decision to reconceptualize their relationship to be really purely theirs whereas before they hung so much of it on Rose. Now it’ll be theirs alone and stronger for it. Love that.

I love that Greg is a great listener and great at helping people through tough times. He’s a sweet and supportive guy and knows when people just need time and space to work stuff out. A+ dude.

Here in Missouri, minimum wage is definitely enough to get by on. I’ve been surviving on a part time minimum wage job for almost two months.

Now - I’m in an apartment with a few other guys, so rent/utilities are split up between us, and even though Missouri’s price of living is dirt cheap - it leaves me very little spending money. But regardless, we shouldn’t be saying it’s impossible “anywhere in the US” when it’s plenty possible to live off of minimum wage in at least one place.
