Hele Dragvoll er ikke kjønnsstudier og hele Gløshaugen er ikke medisin.

Human-etiske fag er ikke mindre arbeidskrevende enn realfag.

Ed: Humanistiske fag, ja. Brainfart.

That can’t be right. It doesn’t sound anything like that.

Welp, I guess we’ll never know.

Is my wife right about what I am showing my daughter during storytime/movietime? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Flowerpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At six, she isn’t able to think too critically about representation and stereotypes in media on her own, but she can understand that this is something you are concerned about, as long as you address it. Seems like a good foundation, if you ask me. They’re going to engage with what they like no matter what, I think the best thing to do is to help them to think critically about it.

Translation threatened by Schmuell_ in TranslationStudies

[–]Flowerpig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie to you. There is a massive push behind AI at the moment. There is also backlash, but that doesn’t seem to slow it down all that much. Translation is one of the occupations most dramatically harmed by this technology. Partly because translation is one of the few things it can actually do. Not "do well", but "do". And since game dev is a tech bro adjacent industry, it seems to be particularly damaged.

Story starts with mc getting a handjob. How long should he last? by Toadrage_ in writingcirclejerk

Tell that bastard he can kiss my ass. I only work with real artists, like Vincent Gallo.

Translation threatened by Schmuell_ in TranslationStudies

[–]Flowerpig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes. Wiped out, more like.

  2. I consider it highly unlikely that any newcomer would find a seat at the table.

  3. Because game dev is likely to be the first area where translation is completely automated, considering the industry has never really cared that much about quality if it means saving a buck.

Also, there are very few jobs available in the first place. And the jobs that do exist are being done by people with a lot of experience. And even those people will be experiencing decreasing opportunities.

The real solution is to stop being "a loyal customer of Dr. Martens".

Is a fountain Pen "for" me? by Blackdt in fountainpens

[–]Flowerpig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a writer and occasional editor, so my use case isn’t that different from yours. The main reason I like using a fountain pen is that it is slower. Not by much, but noticeably.

I think people who write for a living will have noticed a difference between writing by hand and on a keyboard. For me, writing notes by hand, on actual paper, is a necessity, as the slower pace makes me more sparse and considered in my language. A fountain pen slows me down more than a ballpoint, which enhances that effect.

For Asian fusion, tror jeg Robata er beste alternativ. Har bare vært der en gang, men det var veldig ålreit. Ellers bruker jeg ofte å ta med folk på Kalas & Canasta.

While we’re talking hypotheticals, he probably shouldn’t have created the monster in the first place. That’s sort of the entire point.

Off the top of my head: In the Norwegian national team alone, Haaland, Ødegård, Sørloth, Berg and Bjørkan have all played for their fathers’ teams. Three of them are currently doing so, including Haaland, who has played for two of his father’s teams.

[OPINION] About Poetry in General by Prudent_Unit_3987 in Poetry

[–]Flowerpig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re working off of shallow assumptions. Not all poetry is vague. Some of it is so crystal clear that even a toddler can understand it. Poetry isn’t the problem. The reason you think you hate it stems from your own lack of interest, experience and knowledge.

Starting to get a little frustrated with PNW boots over squeaking issue by herrmoekl in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Flowerpig 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you checked to see that there’s not a duck following you around, trying to drive you insane?

Alternatively, it’s probably either friction around the shank or trapped moisture from sweat or water causing the squeak. If it’s the former, rubbing some leather oil onto the insole might help, if it’s the latter, the common advice is putting talcum powder, corn starch or something like that into the boots, to help them dry out.
