"covidians"? That's a new one. Would this be:

A) People who actually understand and follow science?

or..

B) People who do not understand and do not follow science?

Curious... :hmmm:

Enoch... it's probably both... the current trend is to make words mean everything, nothing, the opposite, etc... so you probably need to know the context, what the person believes, and how the word is being used. :D


So true mister NearTao !!
OFF TOPIC :
Make me thing about what we were recently saying with some musician friends of mine and 40 - 45 years old , about lyrics in recent french hip hop ( i know rap in french .. you will say .. Hmmmm .. but some group did make some really good tunes from 1995 to these days ) ..

We were talking about big selling french rappers from today (won't name them they make a lot lot more" views" than their musical fathers) . And we said the same as you : the lyrics are in this current trend to be meaning something and it's opposite, or some short stories you can't understand without being part of the context, knowing the codes of the "ghetto- from this - precise- concrete bar near this precise town"... And that's part of their success... Even if you don't understand the sense, you HAVE to act as if you understand , to be part of it ... even little children from the upper class can agregate to this unmeanings, because the lyics are so fuzzy and double -sided !!


TOPIC : glad to see the beginning of a recombining power between coders !! Hail to Global Midi mapping on MPC !! :)

Doesn't matter context - in the real world, as well all know, the earth is a spheroid (not flat) and billions of years old (not 6000-10,000). Judging from Ultros "covidians" comment, I wonder if he's living in the real world or not? I mean, having lost actual friends and family to COVID, I am honestly curious as to what he meant by that. I certainly hope he's not one of those people who think it's overblown and not really a pandemic with real consequences.

But, I digress. I'd hate for this thread to get derailed. Maybe he can PM me to clarify. :nod:

Dudes wtf are you talking about LOLOLOL WTF WTF WTF HAHAH. let me elaborate on "covidian". It's a name i assign to people who never shut up about covid. i realise its real and that it kills i believe its not a great thing, i just dont need it pumped in my face and ears from every angle like im linda lovelace in a 1970s porno. Theres no need to read into it and make innaccurate delusional assumptions about my stance on the dangers of covid.

why you folks gotta act so hard take that shit to facebook lol. lets get this thread back on track! I'll admit when i showed up i was a bit rude but I had to defend my position look what i just did, then look what the kikgen just did! Maybe you guys dont get it whats good for the goose is good for the gander, we're all here because we love the same stuff.

if i'm such a jerk then i may as well keep my findings to myself, I came here to help YOU make better music by supplying you with crap you may not own.

The akai force is $1000, its now 0 dollars... because of thekikgen and i and his group of contributors.

Feel free to leave links to your own findings, code, etc if any one is interested? I am just here to try to help gain interest in thekikgens work.... I don't know why some of you gotta be so damn ugly. I did exactly what i planned to do. I made it work, got thekikgen himself to reply to my thread and look at my work and i gave people something to mess with. I dont understand how I am the bad guy here. Some of you not naming any names (charles) seem to just wanna drag stuff down like you're one of those broke ass sucess haters who yanks the climb out crab back down in the bucket... Put a smile on guy use the crap and enjoy. Stop trying to create problems where none exist. Yes your popcorn emoji warrented this response. Now gtfo here unless you have something to contribute... our first interaction was normal and expected it was "hey who the hell are you? are we going to the guns or are we gonna be friendly?" what happend is its like two gun slingers crossing paths and wondering which one is gonna draw lol. its all good now!

@Ultros I don't think we've ever had a conversation on here. If we have please correct me. Also I've only posted three times: One of praise, one a question, and one I'm just reading.

Tbh I've been locked inside for 3 months killing project after project but I think the price has been a piece of my sanity. When this 'rona crap ends I am going to have terrible people skills. Basically living in solitary confinement with electronics in the room. This is the crap that results lol

Again i love how you quoted all the supportive comments to highlight my idiocy. Thank you for that. theres no better shaming that immediate and public one hahah

Crunch time is no joke, that one reason I never went full on programming. I learned a little back end to trip my self up. Buy mainly did front end web coding, HTML, CSS, JAVA. You Assembly, Pascal, BASIC, C++ guys. (Forgive me if I left out Ruby and others.) Really be crunching and letting off steam is key.

But like I said, I applaud you guys... it's not easy. Also no shame was intended, I just wanted to show you know I'm not the enemy. I await to see what you guys come up with. :nod: I love all my VERTICAL MONITOR PIRATES. Well except for the time I went to Defcon and brought my daily smartphone instead of a burner one. :lol: :lol:
