It reminds me of Watership Down:
But the poster you replied to has a point:
Just like most animals the greater majority of people try to avoid as many direct conflicts as possible IRL. And they're full of empathy and compassion - even for other animals in distress and inanimate objects (saw off the fingers of a plastic doll in front of others and see how they treat you afterwards).
But of course people will lose a part of that compassion etc once they move within society without feeling like a part of it. One example is driving a car. You're way less aware of being a part of society even though you're "swimming" in it. Feeling a strong individual agency and being empowered by two tons of steel while simultaneously being greatly restricted by everyone and everything around you will do that to you.
Same goes for the (social) media landscape. We feel empowered by our own echo chambers and/or chosen media outlet while barely interacting with anyone who could challenge our beliefs (which, funnily enough, is often the right call in that context, because we can't change strong opposing beliefs via social media). And since it's all an indirect, mostly faceless interaction, our beliefs will automatically be strengthened and we'll be more likely to agitate anyone with opposing beliefs (while still avoiding any direct conflict).
So I'd say it's more of a flaw in our design, that is being exploited, than a general lack of sympathy/empathy (of which we actually have plenty).
Which means you can't hold any one individual to higher standards. Because that's not where we "fail". It'd take a much broader appliance of social securities (housing, food, healthcare, education etc all over the world) and a fundamental change in the way we interact. But you and I won't change that (though I guess it's comforting telling ourselves that we could individually change things on a greater scale).
It's a South American coati:
"Die Kinder von Golzow" is a documentary following 18 children from 1961 to 2007 and consists of episodes like "Lebensläufe", which was included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the movie with the longest production period:
I guess I better leave you alone, then. :-P
(I actually only checked the comments to see, if someone would mention it).
One of us. One of us. :-)
Did someone say IT Crowd?:
Should be fairly easy with it being nicely greased up. :-P
Haven't used it in years, but it might still work:
I'd done this some time ago via console.
My RE partition had sat before my main partition - and since you can't shrink partitions at their start (left) with fdisk and I didn't want to boot up a Linux pen drive, I just shrank the main partition at its end (right) and moved my RE partition to the now freed space at the end.
I've made the old RE partition available, but since it's just a few hundred MB, I doubt I'll ever actually use it. :-P
PS: If you do it via fdisk, just make sure you first enable the new RE before disabling the old RE. Otherwise there's nothing that can be copied to the new RE - I've made that mistake and had to get the missing files from a Windows ISO.
"The man's an arse. He's really boring. He won't stop talking about Sartre."
That's why I prefer Ruby. And maybe get Precious involved for a coconut threeway. :-P
"That's the best you could mustar(d)?" :-P
It's actually a year old. Sorting by hot has some weird problems. The devs partially fixed it, but as you can see, it still doesn't work as intended from time to time.
Most people just sort by Top > Day or Active.
ISA slot
Suspect is hat-less, I repeat: hat-less!
I've got two theories as to what that poster was trying to say:
Der Herr Der = Durr Hurr Durr
Or:
Der Herr Der = reference to "Die Bart, Die"
But as to the real meaning: Der Herr Der Elemente = The Master Of Elements
Prey's currently on sale and one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had in recent years.
You'll be hooked within the first 10 minutes of playing, I guarantee it:
Joined Reddit in 2011 when my wife introduced me to it (and RiF).
Left when the API drama started and was glad when I found feddit.de (later switched to sh.itjust.works).
Have since deleted my reddit account and only browse it when I can't find any other source for a technical problem/solution.
"Did I tell you about my mom and dad? Well, my mom and dad went on vacation down at Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. This was about...six years ago, I think. Seems like it was six, about six years ago...six or seven, possibly seven, could be. Somewhere in there, six, seven: more than six, less than seven. Let's call it six and a half. So my mom and dad went on vacation at Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and my dad found a big rock. ...What he thought was a big rock; turns out it was a dinosaur turd. A petrified dinosaur turd, twenty-seven-pounder."
"You know, now that I think of it, it might have been eight years ago. That would've been close to Y2K, wouldn't it? Remember Y2K? Whatever happened? Everybody was all worried about that; nothin' ever happened. Hahahahahaha. Big fuss...nothin' ever happened! You know? God, that's strange, you know? So let's say...we'll say it's eight years ago, it was either eight or five."
"So my dad gave my mom this big turd; he said, 'Here, Mom, this is a big dinosaur turd; put it in your purse and take that home.' My mom said, 'Dad, I don't think this is a dinosaur turd; this thing is still warm. Whoever dropped this thing is still walking around in here, and we better get the fuck outta this cave!'"
"Nine years ago! Nine. I know it was nine because my wife was pregnant with our first boy, Mak Mudi Ben'el Said ben Salaam. And he's ten now. ...Or is he? He's eleven, maybe he's eleven. He's either eleven or five."
Anyone else who immediately thought of Mr. Mulvaney?:

I'm just going to leave this here for anyone speaking German:
The trailer for Koe no katachi (A Silent Voice) is powerful and conveys its theme without spoiling anything (imho):
Setzen, 6.
I don't want to nitpick, because everyone gets what you're trying to say.
But dinosaurs still exist today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_birds
Oh, the irony. :D
