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.

The one thing I miss about Reddit is the no cum tag

I have a no cum tag on my sock drawer in case a teenager breaks in.

Tired: Give a man a fish because it's a nice thing to do

Wired: Give a man a fish and teach him how to fish because it's a nice thing to do

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.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett)

You should teach him how to fish right after that

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 11 months ago

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!
