I find myself often surrounding myself with people from both fandoms but I don't think that I fully identify as either anymore as I'm not terribly invested in the cultures like i used to be. I was always much more of a brony than a furry though

Yotaro is one of my favourite instrumental hip-hop artists at the moment, and this track is a particular favourite of mine ]

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy your stay

I'll be honest, when starting this thread I thought that G5 had already begun and that more material had been released. That is my mistake for not doing any research before posting. Thank you all for your replies. I've enjoyed reading them, and it has given me some good insights into the current perception of G5. As I now know there is another very similar thread to this one as advised above by CloudMistDragon we should probably move the discussion over in that direction

Feel free to merge this if the question has already been answered. I didn't look too hard for similar threads In your opinion do you think that G5 stands up to the force that was G4? I'm curious as to why you have come to your conclusion, and what you think G5 did better or needs to improve upon in relation to G4. I stopped watching G4 at about ep 100 and have not engaged with G5 so I know literally nothing about it.

I am currently drinking an Aussielent, it's like an Australian Soylent. Been using it for lunch at work to stop myself ordering takeaway everyday as I was starting to put on weight and spend way too much money. Tasted super bland when I first tried it but now I enjoy it. And I'm noticing the savings already

@-Solstice- I try and do the same, but I think I have come to the conclusion that you can only get so far down the rabbit hole whist staying entirely in the realm of cold, empirical rationalism. I think that lot of understanding nessecarily has to come from participation in the the phenomenological which is why I mentioned it above. I have come to the conclusion that, as we are a part of our universe and do not exist outside of it, only a portion knowing can be extracted from detached analysis. Along with this is the problem of intellect vs intuition. Intuitional understanding (knowing something so well that you no longer have to think about it consciously such as balancing whilst riding a bike or knowing an intellectual topic so well that you can describe it entirely in your own words by thinking of the concepts themselves as apposed to thinking about the linguistic content of how it was taught to you. Think of the "Aha! *snaps fingers* I get it now!" Experience as something moving from intellectual understanding to intuitive awareness) requires practical experience and therefore participation. The reason I bring this up is because I believe that in order for us to understand certain things intellectually we need to have certain prerequisite intuitive understandings forming a framework of awareness required to even perciceve the patterns of certain concepts via intellectual perception. Consider this somewhat akin to, as you put it, the increasing awareness of the noosphere, but on the level of individual consciousness. The problem that can occur with this way of thinking is that it opens up the possibility of getting pulled into certain ways of thinking and either not being able to, or not wanting to escape from them. I think there are solutions to this though. The conclusions that i have some to in this regard may me wrong and I am most definitely missing some things but I have found this an exceptionally powerful way to understand material and gain insights into ideas that I would of never found otherwise.

@-Solstice- And the implications of such ideas. Following a lot of this stuff through to its logical conclusions takes you to some pretty weird and often very uncomfortable places which often leads to a lot of arbitrary lines and justifications being drawn by people who engage with it which often leads to confusions and flaws in the discussion and analysis of the phenomenological and impirical data sets

@-Solstice- I think we might have somewhat similar beliefs. I feel that we are both looking at the same or similar abstracts/dynamics and concepts through different lenses; coming to our conclusions by following different paths to the same place. I was actually looking at this thread and planned on attempting to post an answer once I get home from work and have access to an actual computer as apposed to trying to type out a long wordy reply on my phone. So it's interesting to me that would would post this now. Especially due to having only really interacted with eachother for the first time just before.

Tournament Kyokushin Karate for sure. The style, the culture, and the brotherhood in this martial art are so strong. And the physical fitness you would obtain would be insane!

I used to be an avid Tea Drinker (english breakfast, sugar, milk) never drinking coffee other than supermarket iced coffee. Ever since working full time though I have done a full 180 and drink coffee pretty much every morning and barely touch Tea anymore. Though I have also started drinking green tea for those times when I need a good midday pick me up. I don't usually like drinking coffee later in the day. It feels very much breakfasty to me. Unless I'm going to a Cafe with friends for lunch or something. But even then a coffee is usually more like an entree than a main course supplement.

Honestly most of them. As much as I enjoy watching Shows and Movies it feels like there's always something else higher on my priority/hobby list. I wish there was some way to just absorb entire TV shows (and books for that matter) in in instant, but I guess that would probably defeat the purpose

At the moment I really want both a Shruti Box and an Electric Drumkit, so if either of these items wanted to spontaneously manifest in my house I would not be complaining in a hurry

Probably either a programming language; most favorably C, or the drums. I am obsessed with rhythm and would love channel that into actually learning how to play.

Boy with Boat - Sunstance. Been absolutely obsessed with Melodic/Minimal Techno recently, seriously can't get enough of it

Had this song stuck in my head since I heard it in a DJ set a few months ago, so happy it's finally being released! Probably one of the best techno tracks I've heard! https://www.beatport.com/track/lovelapse-original-mix/13774598 This is only a preview since the full song isnt out yet but it shows most of the parts I'm in love with

10:20AM AEST here, I should really be getting ready for work

Before it shut down I use to DJ at a local nightclub and I think the funniest thing I use to see was how often you would see one to two people well over the age of 50 come in and absolutely light up the dance floor. I remember this one bloke probably in his late 50's early 60's (I'm almost certain he was always high on something) would be in EVERY weekend and would pretty much dance from open to close Pretty sure I've seen him out at other local venues too since the closure. Definitely a free spirit of I've ever seen one

Banned because I actually have a buddha tshirt

Hey I do this too! I find it's an easy way to come up with drum beats to put into songs later!
