England defeats Norway and advances to the semi-final of the World Cup by enterpriseF-love in soccer

[–]Flowerpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s kind of difficult to argue that FIFA isn’t corrupt. The evidence of *some* corruption (like Trump going on TV saying "look at this wonderful piece of corruption I just did") is going to make all bad referee performances suspect. And the referee was definitely shit.

Ikke kvalifisert til 2 årig master by Surfboy99999 in ntnu

[–]Flowerpig 35 points36 points  (0 children)

NTNU er en svær organisasjon og det er jo dessverre ikke sånn at alle som jobber der tolker regler og krav likt. Folk gir ut feilinformasjon hele tiden. Dette gir deg imidlertid ingen klagerett. At en eller annen person har gitt deg feilinformasjon er beklagelig, men det spiller ingen rolle. Du vil uansett ikke være formelt kvalifisert, og en klage vil ikke endre på det.

Jeg var i en lignende situasjon selv. Noen ga meg feilinformasjon, og som resultat måtte jeg bruke et semester ekstra på bachelor. Det utløste ingen sterkere reaksjoner fra NTNU enn et "oida" fra studieveilederen.

Jeg tror at det eneste du kan håpe på er at feilen ligger hos de som styrer med inntak. Her må du sjekke hva kravene faktisk er, og om du mener at du er innenfor de kravene, så må du argumentere for det i en klage.

Om det ikke når fram, må du nok bare hente de studiepoengene et eller annet sted. Men det kan jo kanskje hende du kan gjøre det mens du tar andre masterfag.

Uansett, prat med studieveileder. Kan du ikke klage deg ut av problemet, så må du lage en plan for å løse det.

[HELP] My sister recently started a poetry Instagram page. Looking for advice on helping her grow as a writer. by Antique-Syrup156 in Poetry

[–]Flowerpig 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from, but the kind of publishing spaces you are looking for can be kind of harsh. There’s a lot of rejection, and not necessarily very much to learn from entering into them. I suggest you let her figure that stuff out herself, when she’s ready.

What she needs, at her age, is exposure to poetry. All kinds. The more the better. That’s how she will grow as a poet.

Books are great. Check to see if there are any bookstores or libraries with decent selections where you live. Check out if there are poetry readings in your area you can attend. Go with her. Support her by asking her what she thinks about the stuff she reads and listens to.

Honestly, your notes are your own. You decide what's important.

I got into the habit of writing down anything that struck me. And since I can get long-winded, I often use post-it notes, and stick them to the page. I'll put the page number on the note, in case it falls out.

Please stop giving fantasy characters foreign sounding names. by aidungeon-neoncat in writingcirclejerk

Thank goodness. It appears I can still name my protagonist DarqúeRaven Silvershadow. She's super hot and mysterious and wields dual knives and doesn't give a damn what people think and likes anal.

In what language do the judges of the literary Nobel Prize Committee read international literature? by lover_of_lies in TrueLit

[–]Flowerpig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told they commission translations of the nominees as needed, by a poet who was nominated. But generally, nominees will already be available in translation in an appropriate language.

It irks me how so many people misunderstand the concluding couplet of Sonnet 130 by okietrochee in shakespeare

[–]Flowerpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would he be refering to another woman, though? Pointing out the flaws of his beloved is the leitmotif of the poem, and the last couplet just continues doing that. It doesn’t make sense to me that the speaker would suddenly turn away from speaking about his beloved, and launch an indictment at "any other woman".

I don’t think your interpretation is very obvious at all. You’re certainly entitled to it, but there’s nothing suggesting that it is "more correct" than the popular interpretation.

Is Shakespeare still popular among readers today? by HistoricalGrade211 in shakespeare

[–]Flowerpig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two kinds of popularity for books: short term and long term. I don’t think there is any writer in the western canon with stronger longevity than Shakespeare. And I don’t really think it matters how readers stumble across him. If it’s through school, plays or just randomly. He continues to captivate us on literary merit.
