I'd want to be encouraged to swim as skillfully and strongly as I possibly could

And yes I'd also like to be rewarded for doing it well 🏆🏆🏆

I'm sure that they'd rather be applauded for swimming than captured for food.

It’s ok to eat fish because they don’t have any feelings

No.

Someone from my office has been awarded a £50 gift voucher for looking after ABC Corp. Their job is 'supplier relationship' and we assumed they had gone above and beyond looking after a different supplier for someone else.

When enquired it transpired they only had one account: ABC Corp. So, in essence, they were just doing their regular job.

They have inner ear apparatus, yes. But no outer flappy ear bits.

I know this is a light hearted thread but I think what you describe is actually quite a bad thing.

It leads to people expecting to be praised, simply for doing what they are supposed to be doing, and when they are not they then start saying that they aren’t being appreciated, it’s a downward spiral.

Doesn't matter cant block distances

No.. applauding a fish for flying yes for swimming against the tide yes.

Applauding someone or something for doing an essential element to existing..no..unless that's a baby fish then yes encourage until they learn the essential.

Guess that's why there's so many people wanting applauding when they do/learn life essentials, they still aren't developed.

I've asked the fish as you can see in my profile picture

They don't need the applause

They just don't want to be eaten by bigger fish

I agree and it's tiring when you have someone constantly seeking approval for doing a job they are paid to do. And constantly praising demeans the praise when the praise and recognition is actually deserved

How do they eat their chocolate biscuits if they don’t have fingers, they’d never get the wrapping undone.
