The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXVII

[Borachio]

You could try recognizing them for what they are: grudges. But then, I guess, you've already done that.

Who's being most negatively affected by your grudges, though? Is it you? What have you got against yourself?

That's one way to treat them.

 

[Takhisis]

At some point you realise that you don't care anymore, or that you can't do anything about it, or that there are more important things.

At some point you realise that you don't care anymore, or that you can't do anything about it, or that there are more important things.

These are wise words by Takisisu-sensei that I, the humble and unlearned cybrxkhan, can verify from my limited experience.

 

[Takhisis]

For some time I've entertained the thought of hosting my very own 'Ask Takhisis' thread. How silly does the concept sound?

(IMVHO, very)

 

[gay_Aleks]

Quite, and that's from the guy who made an "Ask a Bulgarian" thread.

Although, are you Argentinian?

I dunno I was thinking the same thing, like an advice column thread where I dispense the advice

I wonder how many more of us there are thinking about this?

Oh, I didn't intend to host an 'Ask an Argentinian/porteño/colonist/whatever', just an 'Ask Takhisis' thread.

The Late Night Thread with Takhisis and Hygro sounds like quite the idea.

"Dear Takgro" has a nice ring...

 

[cybrxkhan]

The Late Night Thread with Takhisis and Hygro sounds like quite the idea.

Great Wise Words and Advice from the sages Takisisu-sensei and Higoro-sensei sounds like a worthy enterprise!

 

[Hygro]

Whether we call it Late Night with Takhisis and Hygro or Dear Takgro or Great Wise Words and Advice from the sages Takisisu-sensei and Higoro-sensei I'm pretty much down.

What exactly is India's current relationship with Indochina?

I was thinking of starting one where it's me specifically asking for advice. What do you think?

 

[Flying Pig]

Would that not just be the misc. questions thread?

 

[Borachio]

It would.

I was just being silly. As usual.

Does anyone have any advice to offer on how to be more serious? And/or po-faced?

 

[bhsup]

Become a Tory? KIDDING, I KID!

 

[Tee Kay]

What exactly is India's current relationship with Indochina?

China looms much larger than India, for multiple reasons (bigger economic reach, more aggressive posturings). Some countries like Vietnam are leaning closer to India as a counterweight to Chinese influence (like in this story just yesterday). This will only accelerate as ASEAN integrates, India reaches further outwards, and China acts more and more dickish.

For certain people, there's also the complication of racism. I grew up in an environment and culture (middle-class Bangkokian) where dark skin is very much unappreciated and associated with poverty/uncleanliness/Bad Things generally, with obvious implications for their views of our subcontinental neighbours.

"Dear Takgro" has a nice ring...

And it's precioussss… and ourssss… filthy Americanses, they wants our rings…

Dozo arigato, wakizashi.

Whether we call it Late Night with Takhisis and Hygro or Dear Takgro or Great Wise Words and Advice from the sages Takisisu-sensei and Higoro-sensei I'm pretty much down.

I prefer the first of the three names with the third as its subtitle and Dear Takgro as a tagline. But that's a matter of taste.

 

[Hygro]

I'm a fan of simplifying a brand. Dear Takgro is probably my favorite of the three but then, that's also because my bias was an advice column thread rather than an AMA first. The Late Night with Takhisis and Hygro makes more sense if it's more musings-based.

 

[gay_Aleks]

The Late Night with Takgro and Guests!

 

[Takhisis]

I'll have to mull over this, but such a thread should definitely be in the works.

Now, who wants to write a 2,000-word-long essay for me? You have three days. If you complete this task, there will be cake.
