I work so hard to torture my metaphors with precision, and I’m honored when anyone notices. Thank you.

An elf is trying to deliver a very important warning, but is building up the preface to that warning so much, trying to provide a proper analogy for just how important the warning is, that he never actually gets to the point.

Honestly, watching the upvotes and downvotes chase each other on this one is thrilling.

Exactly! You get it.
I hope this video finds you at your most sleep deprived.
There are a number of questions online dealing with this subject, but many answers are contradictory, or aren’t familiar with what a soundfont is, and few seem to acknowledge that—according to the US Copyright Office at least— you can’t copyright a recording of an individual note (See [the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices](https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/chap300/ch300-copyrightable-authorship.pdf) Chapter 300, Section 313.4 (B)). That said, I was only able find [one Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/18ih876/soundfont_legality/kdd7r3x/) where someone brought up specific cases tied to the issue, and there was still some confusion within that thread. I’m making original compositions, and I still want to properly credit the website I got a soundfont from, because I think that’s the right thing to do, though it’s not required. The site offers them for free and seems to have all its own rights in order. To my knowledge, all of the recordings were explicitly made for use in this manner, not ripped from other copyrighted material, but it would put my mind at ease to be sure someone couldn’t change their mind years later and have grounds to sue me for royalties because somewhere buried in the individual recordings of individual notes is, like, a piano where the c-sharp is *especially pianoish.* I’d like to believe I’m in the clear, but am I misunderstanding anything here? (Tried to ask this on Reddit’s music production sub and the post was removed without explanation. Never heard back from mods when I reached out. Very strange.) Thank you for your time.

This was apparently from a 1999 issue of Kerrang! at a time in which Daron Malakian would have indeed been around 23.

I got verified as a webcomic creator on r/funny long ago, and over the years it’s been a 50/50 shot whether my original content would get removed by an autofilter, at which point I would reach out to a mod, at which point my submission would maybe be restored hours after I submitted it, with no chance of getting any actual visibility because it never had a real chance when sorting by “new. “
Sometimes a mod tells me I can resubmit, but the timing of a submission matters, and if you’re outside of a good timeslot when you get permission to resubmit, it means less of a chance your submission will do well.
But if you risk waiting for another day, there’s no guarantee it won’t just happen again, and the mod that gave you permission to resubmit might not be working that day, and then you run the risk of some other mod thinking you’re a spammer, and you having to work it out again with them at the risk of a ban.
EDIT: According to at least one measure, my credit under this new system isn’t bad at all, so I’m without explanation for why this keeps happening.

Thanks! I have a comedian friend who looks and sounds exactly like Joel Haver. I keep wanting to ask him if he’s Joel Haver, but I admittedly haven’t seen him since around the time Joel Haver got popular.

Bobby is going to be heartbroken. Please let him have this.
Sometimes, you adapt a book into a film. Other times, you just film the book itself and hope people will imagine good cinematography.

Countless firsthand accounts of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have disappeared across the last decade, and it may speak to larger issues with the historical record in the digital age.

I’m going to come back to this post every now and then to write myself messages of encouragement in the comments.
