I got invited to go fishing with some coworkers and had to say no. It's kind of a shame since I don't have any friends and it was a chance to do something social, plus the area they wanted to go is chill and out in the woods. But I've never been comfortable with fishing. It's a big part of where I grew up. Lots of people don't even eat the fish. They toss the poor things back in the water.
Maybe I could still go but just hang out on the shore.
It's not. They are able to learn, yes so are a lot of things, but the type of pain and fear that humans have is not really there.
Either way I'm done with this. I recounted my experience sustenance fishing as a kid and said that fishing for sport was bad. I still got called an animal abuser, so kindly fuck off.
edit: I'm being a dick here from the other comment chain. This is fine and worth noting, it's also why I don't like catch and release.
Sorry. See my edit. I was literally typing it when you responded.
It's all good, you made a good point and I bit your head off.
I'm aware of the studies about fish reacting to negative stimulus and learning about them. It's a bit different, but yeah, it's one of the reasons I'm saying sport fishing is bad
It's cool. I think struggle sessions do shit to our brains. We're in pounce mode. And no one wants to be told off.
Yeah I logged off for a bit and just got on to check on it a few minutes ago lol, saw your thing and thought it was a continuation and showed my ass. my bad comrade
