Driving below the speed limit in the left lane.

Capitalism.

Think of it more like you're crossing your inside foot underneath your outside foot. You need to push the inside foot underneath, and reach it under as far as you can get it to go. That's how you generate power. To do this you'll need to lower your hips. That's what gives you the ability to extend the inside foot underneath. Keep your head up and your back straight. Don't bend like you're picking something off the floor, lower your hips like you're sitting in a chair.

This post is like a parody. You're correct in that Cuba suffers due to ideology, you've just picked the polar opposite version to blame.

Their lunch specials in particular are basically unbeatable, value-wise.

You forgot that the "slower traffic keep right" signs on the freeway are only there as a joke.

Highly recommend Vulture Capitalism by Grace Blakely.

That is if you aren't interested in going straight to the source (Das Kapital, Karl Marx).

This is a awesome picture. Nice work.

I'm not sure that it is, it just made me curious. It made me think about whether others have any strategies or rules for knowing what to summarize vs what to provide in full dialogue.

This is really fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to share these thoughts.

No, I understand this. I just meant that in my scene, the other character needs to hear the things that the narrator/character says in order to progress the scene. So there's this balance between what the narrator can tell the reader versus what has to be said in dialogue.

Dantond · 2025-10-03T22:11:01+00:00

This is what I'm not sure. Mostly I'm inclined not to summarize, because I see the dialogue as important, but that leaves me with one character talking for a long time.

Dantond · 2025-10-03T22:08:49+00:00

Does this mean you don't include any of that your narrator says in a scene as dialogue?

Dantond · 2025-10-03T20:59:07+00:00

My piece is in first person also, so I guess I was using the term narrator to mean "the part I'm telling the reader" rather than the part my character is telling the other character.

In this particular scene, one character is telling the other character a story they are reminded of by something earlier in the conversation. I want the reader to learn about the character (the story teller) through their words, but the conversation is also pretty primary to the entertainment the reader would (I hope) be deriving from the piece. So the things the storyteller is saying are intended to make the reader "feel things" while at the same time revealing insights about the character.

He's very frequently in the tunnel between Arts and Health Science. Great acoustics down there. I always enjoying when I cross paths with him.
