    Amen. Teach them to fish in the same sense of kindness too, it’s easier to teach people when they aren’t hungry

    Teaching a man to fish is also a nice thing to do, though

      Yeah but the saying doesn’t make sense anymore since most of the fish are gone. Fishing is now a form of entertainment maintained by the state that you must pay to enjoy in a limited way, not a viable source of sustenance.

    Neighbour did this last week.

    Had to ask him back the next night and admit I didn’t know how to clean a fish.

    Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Slap a man upside the head with a salmon and he’ll stop bothering you for fucking fish all the damn time.

    You should teach him how to fish right after that

      Let the man eat it and rest first. Being hungry and stressed out impairs both learning itself and retention.

      He’s a grown ass man, fishing ain’t that hard!
