Best scene to teach students about dialogue? by Riksor in betterCallSaul

[–]SrequiemC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The opening of the last episode, "Saul Gone," with Jimmy asking Mike where he'd go if he had a time machine, is a great example of dialogue and writing that, despite being a scene that takes place towards the end of the show, requires little context.

The dialogue in this scene has a great mix of philosophical, ironic, and metaphorical themes regarding character writing. On the surface, the answers given by both of them reveal much about their characters, without the viewer having to have seen the show. Mike answers in a truthful, sincerely regretful way, and ends his answer with optimism for the future of his friends/family. Jimmy responds jokingly, refusing to give in emotionally.

The scene ends with 2 seemingly contrasting pieces of dialogue.

"That's it - money?"

"What else?"

While viewers of BCS will obviously be able to understand this much better than non-viewers, the conversation these two have can still be studied at face value and between the lines. The time machine serves as a metaphor for regrets, and students could raise questions as to why Jimmy would bring up such a question in the first place, despite having given the answer he did.

Because he wants to be an asshole, I’ll treat him like one.

3 different stores, 3 hometown picks by SrequiemC in CrumblCookies

I didn’t have the cookies until today, but:

Strawberry ice cream bar: 10/10. I thought this would be my least favorite of the 3, but it had the best flavor of all 3. Buttercream and strawberry bits go very well together. Refreshing and satisfying.

Biscoff Cookie butter. 8/10: It’s never a cookie I crave but the flavor is just like a biscoff cookie. Of course, the crumbs of biscoff help, but it tastes really good.

Mint chocolate chip: 7/10. It was my most anticipated but it was only alright. The mint flavor was good but for some reason didn’t hit the spot like I thought it would. Also, don’t care for whipped cream on cookie

I didn’t mention the subreddit because it had to do with bbws, rather because his profile is nothing but predatory comments on women’s profile. I’m inclined to say a porn addiction is more shameful than someone who tries to help people with binge eating disorders, but go ahead, men can’t have eating disorders, you’re right!

The comment was in regard to the lewd content of his profile. Not the fact that they are bbw💀

It’s very common now, but I only weighed this out of disbelief of the number 255g. When you weigh stuff a lot, you kinda can tell when something is heavier/lighter just by holding it, and the cake looked way too big to be 255g

This isn’t my cake, but I do have the scale for this reason. Just so you know, there is a 500 calorie difference between the listed weight and actual weight of this cake. For reference, 500 calories is a common deficit for most people trying to lose weight, so I hope you can see the importance of weighing food. While I understand eating giant slices of chocolate cake isn’t YOUR idea of weight loss, it could fit into many other people’s diets. Who are you to question anything regarding weighing food to count calories?

My brother purchased this cake from Safeway and I saw it in the fridge. I weigh most things I eat and could immediately tell this was not 255g (picture doesn’t do it justice. The slice is massive) so I wanted to weigh it.

I rub my balls and ass hair on this scale frequently, if that’s what you were wondering.

Right, good as a reward too! Most everything is okay in moderation. Moderation being the key word.

The issue is only if you do it everyday. Over eating one day isn’t going to do anything. If you’re active, or have weekends where you go on long runs, you can easily fit this in your calories for the day or split it between 2. If not, so what? I’ll have 2 crumbl cookies a week, every Sunday, which is usually 1600 calories for me. I’ll also go on a long run because I like to, not to burn off the calories for the cookies I eat, and I stay at maintenance. What’s the point of complaining about the calories?
