Content:
While this is a life archive, not everything will be on this site that was in my life. The reason is that it doesn't represent me. I only want what represents me and what I want passed down to future generations to be on here.
---------------------
For visitors - -> my website
This site is an experience, not a source of factual knowledge. The information on this site has a chance of inaccuracy, because it values impact more. You, coming on this website, are participating in my life experiences that can eventually work their way into being archived on this website (being my life archive). It's encoded to me, so while I might understand everything about the website, likely everyone else (being not me) won't. This means the website's functioning properly, because it's not meant to be understood by everyone all of the time (and will not be changed to suit others - since this is my website not theirs (as that's pandering - and that will help no one). If someone take issue with that, they can write out whatever feelings they have on their own personal website . In fact, that's one of the purposes of my website - is to continue my life story through others. People are meant to become a part of the story and write out their perspective of it). Only when someone's receptive to it will get gain insight out of and from it (like a key opening a door). If they don't - it's on them to choose to figure out how to or not. That is the visitor's journey, not mine.
While there are no misunderstandings nor misinterpretations of this website by readers (only their own process of digesting the content), there's still a potential to suffer from feeling that way (along with many other reasons suffering could take place outside of this). This is my responsibility, since I built the website in this way. Because I don't want to take on such liability further than this, if you decide to proceed forward from here, you are doing so at your own risk. Even though you take on your own liabilities for your own actions, I still have some liability and responsibility past that, simply for creating my website in the first place for someone to consent to and therefore potentially get negatively (or positively) impacted by it. Therefore, I will try to address any issues that can't be resolved by the visitor at my own discretion (since it's my liability to decide what to do going forward). Realize there's only so much I can do to fix something once it's been damaged, so do not rely on me for any guarantees. It's after every other option's maxed out - I'm a last resort. Still, if this situation does happen to crop up, feel free to contact me to get it situated. If this is unsuitable of a liability for you to handle, then it'll be up to you how you take it upon yourself to proceed further from there - knowing that damages can be incurred that can potentially not be resolved by me, even if it's my fault and responsibility to fix it, due to my own personal limitations (unfortunately).
---------------------
My copyrighting dilemma -> derivative works:
I am here to display my work. Unfortunately my work is built upon that of others, so others' work may be added here as part of my work that I cannot remove my work from without my work going away (or unintentionally). There're other reasons - being requested not to document with others given permission, a lack of documentation materials (smartphones were only invented in 2008 and sometimes I ran out of battery) - so I rely on others' materials to convey my memories - my work is putting it together, not the documents (unless they're mine). So I'm not entirely copy/pasting, similar to art - it's put together in a new way, the parts that're duplicated (see the end of the Flash of Genius movie to see what I mean).
What covers me - citation, fair use, and derivative work:
I am going to proceed in all my activities without asking for permission, so having it on my site is your acceptance of my permission to use your content on my site.
If it happens to cause any problems, kindly message me about it to see what can be done. Of course anyone can sue, but since I'm not doing this for money (it's just a personal, life archive site), just realize whatever retribution is going to be however much I can provide - act accordingly (as it won't be much and I have fair use rights). I prefer not to get sued and to handle everything at the lowest level possible (i.e. simplest and easiest). Also some info is too hard to remove without causing information loss to my stuff, so I would prefer if we can leave it on my site for my use. However, I respect someone's need to not have it on my site if they don't want it and so of course I will try to find another way, although it will require effort out of me - so please be patent in this process.

What covers me - citation, fair use, and derivative work:
- In most of these cases, I'm going to write in that it's not my work and preferably who gets credit. It might not have those exact words, but the notation's there.

- forgot
- >>work
- <<time
- opt - add in - later
- if I - remember, see it, have time

- Most of the information comes from the public domain (with a citation built-in), where people won't care if I use their material, because it's there in the public for use. Other material's from those who don't mind me using their work, provided I don't ask them about it. These are places I don't ask permission, but use it (see below if I shouldn't).
I am going to proceed in all my activities without asking for permission, so having it on my site is your acceptance of my permission to use your content on my site.
