The OFFICIAL Ask ThomasAguanis A Question Thread

[VenomBlackViper]

Is Master Chief constantly asking about homosexuality a sign of homosexuality?

Do you believe that all of these recent questions are some kind of an evil plan devised by Master Chief & myself to bombard you with questions?

Do you appreciate our evil plan as it is boosting your view counts so YouTube is paying you more money?

Cool, I'll check it out. Her voice kinda resembles Dessa at times though.

Have you ever thought about being a real life psychiatrist?

Who do you think won the Block and Insider/Amadeo beef?

Do you consider yourself a nice person?

Do you think homosexuality is bad to begin with?

Do you think our Evil Plan is working?

1. As I said before when he asked the question about you: it's a possibility, but I doubt it.

2. I thought about that when I tried posting a reply and kept getting more questions. I don't see it as "evil" though. Thanks for the questions, I welcome them all.

3. I don't get paid from YouTube views. I don't even have access to the TMW account (though I'm fairly sure I could gain access if I asked). Also, I don't think many people are even clicking the links in my signature. If they were to click them, I'd appreciate it, but there's really no way to tell unless I start monitoring my videos on a daily basis, which I currently don't do. It would also be cool if people left feedback on the videos (not just mine, but all of the ones on the TMW page), but I don't think many have yet.

Do you think our Evil Plan is working?

1. No. Everyone has the right to be attracted to whoever they want to be. Who am I to say they can't be? As long as someone is happy with their partner, why bother them? For the record, & before anyone makes accusations, I'm straight.

2. If it really is a plan, it does seem to be working quite well. I still don't consider it "evil" though.

Why did you not answer dictions questions, are you racist towards Asians?

Why did you not answer dictions questions, are you racist towards Asians?

I missed them in between posts. I'm not racist. Thanks for pointing them out, I would have missed them completely.

I'm pretty sure she's been rapping way longer than Dessa has, if that matters.

1. Nope. The point of this thread was never to be a psychiatrist, it was to have people interview me, yet some questions it turns into me giving someone else advice. That wasn't what I intended to happen, but I welcome it if it does.
2. Block. He always wins.
3. Yes, I do. I feel I'm a nice person to begin with and I've had many different people confirm this. Some past members of this site have confirmed this as well. Sometimes I think I'm too nice, but then I think I'm an idiot and continue being myself, niceness and all. I guess there's no way for you to confirm this unless you meet me personally or try to examine my posts here or something.

Can you go into the Recovery elimination game thread in the Eminem section & vote for Space Bound?

[Master Chief]

Do you think Space Bound is the 3rd best song on Recovery like I do?

[ThomasAguanis]

Can you go into the Recovery elimination game thread in the Eminem section & vote for Space Bound?

I could, but I'm going to choose not to. I hope this doesn't offend you. I don't want to be part of an elimination game for an album I haven't listened to since it's release. I also didn't play the game from the beginning, so I would feel like I'm cheating or something.

Do you think Space Bound is the 3rd best song on Recovery like I do?

I can't really make that judgement at the moment. I haven't listened to Recovery since it came out. I do remember thinking that song was pretty good though, but I'm not sure about top 3. Actually, I don't think I can even name 3 songs off of that album without cheating and googling the track list.

Who's the better poster, me or slimshadylappin?

How would you suggest one goes about becoming a vegetarian without disturbing the natural habits of the body?

Deep fry all of your vegetables.

Who's the better poster, me or slimshadylappin?

I'll say you, because I'm not familiar with slimshadylappin's posts at all.

This is a good question. The first thing I'll say is that a vegetarian or vegan diet is not right for everyone. In fact, it's probably a bad thing for certain people, but it works for me. This question all depends on their current diet and how much it'll actually change. For example, how much meat are they currently eating a week? I know that when I went vegan I jumped right into it and I was fine. When I chose to change my diet, I was already not eating many animal products, so the change wasn't so drastic.

Another question to ask is what type of vegetarian diet are they wanting to change to? There seems to be countless varieties of a vegetarian diet these days. The definition changes with each person you ask. For example, some eat fish, some don't. Personally, I define a vegetarian diet as a diet that does not contain meat of any kind, but does include other animal products.

Alright, now I'll try to answer the question a bit more directly. I would first suggest the person research the diet they're looking to change to and make sure they really want to do it. A diet like this isn't really a diet, it's a complete lifestyle change. After knowing they really wanted to go through with the change, I would suggest that whoever it is that is changing their diet, to do it slowly. Transitioning from one diet to another can have crazy effects on the body if you don't do it the right way. Your body becomes used to eating certain things and knows how to digest and handle these things properly. It becomes accustomed to expecting whatever it is you usually eat. If you switch everything one day, you body may not be able to handle the change. This could cause problems with digestion and who knows what else, it differs from person to person. Transitioning slowly can avoid these problems for the most part, but some people may still experience problems at first. A diet change takes some getting used to, mentally and physically. I say mentally because sometimes others around you aren't supportive of your diet change. Not all diets are fully socially accepted and it can be hard to stick to some diets.I know people around me would always make negative comments towards me to try to discourage me from doing something they thought was wrong. I would be told that I looked sick and all types of shit. By the way, if someone changes their diet, tell them to expect a weight change. This is normal and after a while your body will adjust accordingly if you're eating properly. I know that I seemed to lose some weight when I first changed my diet, but have since put it back on and found a steady weight my body accepts. I think that's why my grandfather would tell me I looked sick at first, but now he tells me I look good. Another thing about body adjustment: If I were to eat meat after not eating it for years, my body would not know how to process it. I don't know what would happen to me exactly, but I've heard that some people experience near death sickness when consuming certain things after not doing so for years. Clearly, you can't just switch back to a different diet overnight either. Transitioning is key.

There's a lot more to take into account when changing a diet, but this is the groundwork advice I would give someone. If I knew the person personally, I would walk them through it and help as much as I possibly could. I would also probably try to get them to go vegan after adjusting to being vegetarian, if they wanted to of course. You can't force your diet on others, but when you first change it, you feel like it's your duty to, but this stance changes with time. I could probably go on forever with this subject, but it's probably better I don't. If you have any other questions about vegetarianism, (or veganism, that's my specialty haha) just ask and I shall answer.

Deep fry all of your vegetables.

That's horrible advice. Deep frying anything is a bad idea, especially vegetables.

Firstly, thanks for the awesome answer. It's been something I've been thinking about for a while but haven't fully understood (I'll probably hit you up with other questions relating to the subject). Me and a friend have been thinking about starting a transition for the sake of our health. I like meat, but it's something I feel that I can live without if it'll help my body. I mean, I'm in decent shape for my size, but I feel unhealthy. It's hard to explain, really, but I'm sure you get what I'm saying. I've actually been meaning to ask you about this for a long while, but it always ended up slipping my mind in the last minute.

Another quick question:

Why do you suggest completing the metamorphosis with veganism, as apposed to just sticking to vegetarianism?
