Anon wants parenting advice

Reply in thread

When I was six, I was fishing with my father and uncle in a boat. We got a fish, and my uncle swiftly killed the fish immediately. I asked why he did it, it would've died anyway.

He said something along the lines of "All life should be respected enough not to let it suffer" and nothing else. A useful lesson that changed my view on suffering of animals. The man was later listed as one of the 10 most sought after criminals in my country, but I take the good and leave the bad.

You look a bit skinny, son.

I think what we can try to do is to create an active community.

In the old place, I recognized I really came for the comments. That's why I try to keep my threshold for commenting low and comment often.

Even if it's just to thank someone for a good comment or other low effort commenting, I like to think it helps.
