Almost every creature that lives in a harsh environment understands about looking out for your buddies. The next day, it might be you snapped into the trap. Allies are a precious thing. A lot of people prominent in our society have forgotten, but the rats have not, nor many of the people, either.

Remember this when they start deporting your neighbors next year.

Yeah, without empathy our current society would never have had existed, sadly greed is often more powerful once basic needs and safety are met.

Well, every social creature. There are plenty of species that don’t give a fuck.

Perhaps most mammals and birds understand empathy, but plenty of animals in classes like reptiles, insects, amphibians, don’t exert almost any empathy as humans understand it.

You made me a little nostalgic, reminding me of when reddit was good. Right around that timeframe was the last days of when it was a human place.

Yeah, I sometimes miss Tales From Tech Support. There were some damn good stories in there. The car dealership ones were some of the best.
