Give a man a fish. Don’t try to teach him anything. Just let the poor guy eat his fish in peace. We’re all exhausted. Fuck it, let’s all give each other a fish, served with a nice cold Chablis and tiramisu for pudding. Let's eat together, talk and be human. Even if it's a dream.

Especially you. Yeah, you, sitting pretty up there on top of the pile of fish so high it's rotting out from under you long before you could ever eat it. Honestly.

@thewritertype How ya gonna give eachother fish when no one ever bothered to learn how and you are all too "exhausted" to even be bothered to learn from the few people who know how?

Ya know whats exhausting, needing to support people constantly because their too lazy to learn and be self sufficient, because they feel perfectly justified in just taking.

Yea sorry, no, try learning to fish. I am sorry you are exhausted, but so is everyone else, most of all the people who bothered to learn to fish.

@thewritertype This sounds nice. So much better than the old adage, teach a man to fish and he’ll bore you forever with fishing stories

@thewritertype turns out it's a lot easier to learn how to fish if you're not starving to death

@thewritertype

One doesn't have to 'try' to teach such a man or woman anything, to 'try' to teach implies proselytisation, just 'allow' them to when permitted or requested.

@thewritertype @falderal let's not eh? At least, not the Chablis and tiramisu. Fucking disgusting.

@thewritertype @falderal I mean, in principle, obviously, yes! Let's do this.

But yuck!

@pdcawley @falderal I'm hosting this hypothetical meal in a little trattoria I know near Perugia, where they know how to make real tiramisu to die for. But I've given your place to someone else now. You can still sit outside on the terrace if the weather's good.
