his anger is absolutely for the right reasons but he cares way too much about the wrong things and its exhausting how every day theres a new lefty hes ruthlessly (and usually rightfully) upset at. hes a smart guy for sure but dude is like the greek god of negativity

yes, until you realize that 1 GPT query consumes 1567% (15x) the amount of energy of a single google search result..

I know this post is for fun but I'm gonna share what I know about this anyways, not trying to be condescending or anything! but:

horses are pretty intelligent. how an animal adjusts to being forced in a situation, in this case human society, with no instincts for any of the contexts of that situation, shouldn't be used to determine their intelligence. a quick adaptation to human society can be indicative of high intelligence (see: crows) but measuring animal intelligence on that alone is unfair. horses are actually really good at surviving in the wild, including domestic horses. Australia has a massive feral horse population that developed from escapees and they're one of the most invasive species on the continent, to the point that the government is starting horse hunting programs to try and maintain it. they are very good at surviving in the wild and adapting to different wild environments. their navigation abilities being used to transport humans for thousands of years and being so good at it is also indicative on high intelligence. but most of their intelligence is emotional, they're super emotional creatures & emotionally intelligent. they just kind of suck at being pets/living on farms. being confined to small spaces is also basically torturous to them, I don't think any amount of land a horse owner has is enough for them. in the wild they are literally never confined to one space which is unlike all other common barn animals. with the amount of space they get in captivity they kind of have no idea what to do, get depressed or bored out of their mind, and end up doing a lot of dumb shit that makes them look stupid. but it's not fair to them! the whole reason they look dumb to us is because of the abusive conditions they're given, by us!

thank you the whole concept of horse riding is so insanely exploitative and cruel if you think about it for more than a second. I don't understand how anyone could believe their horse is entitled to any rights or care or love and then also ride them lol. to me you'd have to think horses are like robotic soulless creatures to justify such a thing but horse people somehow claim to have bonds with the life they exploit for their own entertainment. I mean yeah if you're the only thing that ever supplies the horse with food they're gonna let you do whatever but you're so clearly exploiting it. It's like people who say they love their cows and have strong bonds with them and then forcefully impregnate them and murder their calves. animal exploitation culture is just so sad

I agree but i wouldnt say tiny, because for Huawei for example due to the US ban they stopped all operations in the EU and UK and other US allies. So its more the influence the US has on the market thats detrimental rather than American customers themselves
