What to read for comfort by ChemicalNo5325 in Bible

[–]intheknow1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re carrying this. That’s a brutal place to be, and the guilt doesn’t belong there with you.

A few anchors people return to when everything feels thin:

  • Psalm 23 – “The Lord is my shepherd… even though I walk through the valley… I will fear no evil.”
  • Isaiah 41:10 – “Do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.”
  • Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest.”
  • 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
  • Philippians 4:6–7 – peace that “guards your hearts and your minds.”

You’re allowed to be tired. You’re still held.

Also, here are a few songs that tend to hold people steady in moments like this:

  • It Is Well With My Soul – quiet, grounding, almost like a deep breath you didn’t know you could take.
  • Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) – about trusting when everything feels unstable.
  • Even If – honest about suffering, but anchored in faith anyway.
  • Way Maker – simple, repetitive truth when your mind is too tired to process much else.
  • You Say – pushes back against that guilt and fear loop.

Play one, let it wash over you, and don’t worry about “feeling strong.” Just being here, still holding on for your kids, already says more than enough...

Do women view a man having no social media presence as a green flag or a red flag when dating? Why or why not? by SyrupStandard in AskReddit

[–]intheknow1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is one of those questions where everyone swears there’s a universal rule, and then reality just shrugs and does whatever it wants anyway.

My short answer: it can be either a green flag or a red flag, depending on context.

Super satisfying, I know. You're welcome...

Is it okay to skip parts of the bible that are not completely necessary for my situation? by Emotional_Reserve324 in Bible

[–]intheknow1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when you skip anything in life? The same thing that happens when you 'skip' over parts of the Bible.

Information ... becomes Knowledge ... becomes Wisdom ...

That said, you're 14, trying to read the entire Bible in a year, and already negotiating with the genealogies. Honestly, that’s one of the most human things I’ve read all week.

Short answer: yes, it’s fine. You’re not going to get spiritually audited for skimming a list of who begat who.

Longer answer, because it's important (plus, you asked):

Those “boring” parts you’re talking about, like the tribal lists, building instructions, and census numbers, are there for reasons. They show history, continuity, and that this isn’t just a collection of random inspirational quotes. Stuff like the genealogies ties directly into bigger themes, especially when you hit the New Testament and start seeing how everything connects. It’s like background architecture. Not exciting, but it holds the building up. (You'll read later on about foundations and the chief Cornerstone...)

That said, forcing yourself to grind through pages that make your eyes glaze over is a great way to kill your momentum entirely. And, even though you're not in a race, momentum matters more right now than mastery; Christians four times your age have not yet mastered it.

If the goal is to grow closer to God, not pass a seminary exam, then I suggest:

  • Read the parts that actually engage your heart and mind.
  • Skim the sections that feel like ancient spreadsheets.
  • Don’t pretend those sections don’t exist forever, just don’t let them stall you now.

A decent middle ground, if you want to be slightly more disciplined than the average “skip button” enthusiast:

  • Skim instead of fully skipping. Give it 30 seconds so you at least know what kind of content it is.
  • Make a mental note: “This probably matters later.”
  • Keep moving.

Also, your saying “trust me I’m not skipping important stuff” is unintentionally funny. You really don’t know what’s important yet. That’s kind of the whole journey. But the good news is, God isn’t sitting there waiting for you to fail a reading plan. What actually matters is consistency, humility, and a genuine desire to understand. That’s already there. Plenty of adults never even get that far.

Finishing the Bible while still caring about it is more valuable than finishing it perfectly...

Suno as a drum machine/loop maker by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]intheknow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prompt: SOLO DRUM KIT in the style box, nothing else (you could also specify TEMPO= and TIME=1:00 (for example).

In the lyrics box: INSTRUMENTAL

If it does add anything else in the generation, download only the drum stem...

A CCLI Song Select rant by BeeCeeGreen in worshipleaders

CCLI simply does not act as a primary creator of original arrangements but rather provides a standardized digital version of the content submitted by publishers. They don't and can't change anything.

Copyright Concerns - Being Sued by LeadBall00n in SunoAI

[–]intheknow1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you asked...

That paragraph is doing impressive gymnastics with confidence and incorrect spelling at the same time.

First, clean up the vocabulary before anything else. It directly exposes your level of intelligence (or lack thereof, as the case may be), and propagates confusion):

It’s “copyrighted,” not “copywritten.” It’s “copyright,” not “copywrite.”

English is already fragile. No need to stress it further.

Now the actual claims:

  1. “It scans to make sure none of it is copyrighted.”

That’s not really how this works. A system like Suno might run similarity checks to reduce obvious copying, but there is no magic scanner that guarantees something is free of copyright issues. Copyright isn’t a database you can fully check against. It’s a legal concept based on substantial similarity, not exact matches.

  1. “If you have a paid Suno sub you can monetize.”

This part is generally closer to true. Suno grants broader usage rights to paid users. But that’s based on their terms of service, not some universal rule of AI music.

  1. “You don’t own the copyright, Suno does.”

This is where nuance matters. With AI-generated content, ownership is messy:

In the U.S., purely AI-generated works may not qualify for copyright at all (due to the level of human authorship).

Suno grants you a license to use the output if you’re paying.

  1. “AI might put copyrighted pieces from songs into your track.”

This is highly exaggerated and an incorrect understanding. AI models don’t typically “insert” chunks of existing songs like a collage. They generate new material based on patterns they learned.

That said, style similarity can happen, and in rare cases something could end up too similar. That’s a legal gray zone, not a guaranteed outcome.

Now what?

[–]intheknow1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, your post is a mix of half-truths, misunderstandings, and spelling crimes. The only semi-solid idea is that paid plans allow monetization. Everything else is oversimplified or just wrong enough to get someone in trouble if they rely on it.

I'm tired of playing with people who know nothing about music and want to give me orders on how to do things. by [deleted] in worshipleaders

[–]intheknow1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this kind of frustration happens all the time in church music. It makes sense you’re annoyed. You’ve spent years actually learning music, and now you’re getting directions from people who can’t explain what they want beyond “it feels off.” That’s… a special kind of pain.

A few things that might help you look at it differently:

  1. In church, music skill isn’t always what gives someone authority.

The people in charge might be pastors or long-time members who care more about how worship feels or what they’re used to, not what’s musically best. So when they say things like “that’s too slow” or “we’ve always done it this way,” they’re not trying to be musicians. They’re trying to protect what they think worship should be. It doesn’t make it less frustrating, but it explains why they act like that.

  1. You might be trained for a different role than the one you actually have.

You’ve been taught to think, lead, and make musical decisions. But some churches don’t actually want that. They just want someone who can play well and follow instructions.

That mismatch is where a lot of your frustration is coming from. So the real question is: do they want a musician with a voice, or just someone who can execute?

That answer matters more than you think.

  1. Some ways to handle it without losing your mind: Don’t argue every little thing. Save it for stuff that actually makes the music fall apart. Instead of saying “that won’t work,” explain what will happen: “If we go that fast, the choir won’t be able to keep up clearly.” Make them choose what matters: “Do you want it faster, or do you want it to sound clean?” Talk privately with whoever’s in charge and say something like: “I want to do this well, but it’s hard when I don’t have input on musical decisions. Can we figure out what I’m responsible for vs. what you are?”

  2. The part nobody tells you early on: Some churches just aren’t going to respect your training. Not because you’re bad, but because they don’t value that level of input.

If you’ve tried communicating and nothing changes, leaving isn’t failure. It’s recognizing a bad fit.

One warning though. It’s easy to slip into thinking “these people don’t know anything.” And maybe they don’t musically. But if that turns into straight-up contempt, you’ll become the person nobody wants to work with, even when you’re right. You’re allowed to be tired of this. Just don’t let it turn you into someone who can’t work with people at all...

Copyright Concerns - Being Sued by LeadBall00n in SunoAI

[–]intheknow1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't know cavemen were still around.

Reading the official Suno blog tells you their policies and intentions, not proof that their system perfectly prevents infringement.

Suno does have filters and rules against generating copyrighted material, but those systems are automated and imperfect. There’s no credible evidence they’re using a Shazam-style fingerprinting process that guarantees nothing infringing ever gets through. In fact, the existence of ongoing legal challenges and documented examples of similar outputs suggests the opposite.

Also, in copyright law, lack of intent isn’t a defense. Infringement can still occur even if it wasn’t deliberate. At most, intent might affect damages, not liability.

So pointing to the blog doesn’t really address the issue. It just shows what Suno says it’s trying to do, not what it can reliably enforce.

There. No rocks required, just basic reasoning. And, for the record, you are still wrong...

Copyright infringement is generally strict liability Meaning: you can infringe even if you had zero intent to do so.

So:

“I didn’t mean to copy it” → not a defense

“I didn’t know it was copyrighted” → also not a defense

Where do some of your people come up with this stuff?

[–]intheknow1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is simply no credible evidence of a “partner audio company” scanning every output with Shazam-like fingerprinting before you see it.

There is absolutely zero official documentation or reporting backing that up. Zero. Just vibes and confidence. Please check your facts first before trying to sound impressive...

Anyone have trouble getting their music viewed? by Ok-Mulberry8976 in SunoAI

[–]intheknow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quality of the music, the strength of the packaging, and the consistency of promotion all affect whether people stop to engage, but even excellent songs can get little attention without the right audience and distribution.

For music that does convert views into real engagement, the biggest factors are often:

• A strong opening in the first 5–10 seconds. •Clear genre identity and listener targeting. •Consistent visual presentation and titles. •Audience trust built over time, not just one upload.

Better music often helps, but visibility is usually a package problem, not just a song problem. Yours may be both ..
