being copied, esp when theres no effort to make it not obvious

tbh its part of why i'll never share my real feelings about things that mean a lot to me cuz its not something i want to be appropriated when its something deeply personal. my thoughts are mine; no one elses.. dont assume you know anything about why i have the thoughts i have
I'm sorry, that can be infuriating.

Anything I can do?

New screen protector arrived, but I ****ing ruined it when I was trying to put it on. Typical. I have never successfully applied a screen protector by myself in my life without getting dirt stuck under it and ruining the damn thing trying to fix it. Ugh. I literally meticulously cleaned the surface under a bight light for like 10 minutes to avoid exactly this. And what do I see when I finish putting the protector on? A giant black dot stuck under it. I took it off to get rid of it but it was stuck to the bottom of the protector already and when I gently tried to remove it the adhesive got covered in even more gunk and became ruined. Every. ****ing. time. Wasted 10 bucks.

I love when people make really accurate sheet music, yet never bother to write in the key signature correctly, leaving accidentals all over the place, looking like a gigantic mess.

This forces me to do some detective work in order to clean things up. Latest example, Trivium's song "Heart From Your Hate," is in Bb minor.

Yet the guy writing the sheet music indicated it as written in C major or A minor, which would mean every time a Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb show up in the song, they are to be written as accidentals.

Or...

We could just indicate that right in the beginning, called a key signature, that way we don't have to write out these notes as accidentals all the time. Leads to cleaner looking sheet music, and it's important to know what key something you're learning is in.
 
in my experience, i think when that happens, they gotta have some program that picks out the notes or something and it probably defaults to c major with no sharps/flats. i have never found out if there is a program for this but i have wondered about it for a very long time, especially when ive found arrangements that are physically unplayable. rearranging a crappy arrangement is good tho, cuz if the notes are right then you can still do something with them so you can actually play it

i dont mind accidentals tho, at least as a piano player, cuz im really dumb with remembering my black keys
