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

- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

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
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.
Neighbour did this last week.
Had to ask him back the next night and admit I didn't know how to clean a fish.
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
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!
