      I do appreciate you for looking into older references, but I was hoping for some articles from before the digital era, like a scan or three from a couple encyclopedias or other relevant articles before the modern digital era.

      Find me something from like 1950-60 and I might be more inclined to believe it. Other than that, given my life experience, I tend to believe what I literally learned on the horse ranch.

        Honestly, people have given you examples. If you want examples from pre-internet then you should do some work yourself to find it.

          I’ve known how to ride horses and donkeys since I was 6 years old, I grew up on a horse ranch.

          I don’t need no fucking examples dumbass, I lived it.

            People were trying to gently educate you on a metaphor and you decided anything pre-internet is a requirement. Then you keep talking about your lived experience when you got it wrong. Then you attack people when they said they’re not going to do work for you and if you want info you can look it up yourself. You got some real boomer energy my guy/gal.

              You don’t use a stick on a donkey or a horse, unless you want your face kicked in and trampled to death.

              Have any of you ever heard of a horse whip? When used correctly, they exceed the speed of sound, and keep trainers and riders at a safe distance from them.

              I don’t give a fuck about some stupid metaphor that probably came from republican propaganda when they have no experience on a farm.

                If you don’t care about the metaphor what the heck are you doing in this conversation

                  Because I have no experience with said stupid ‘metaphor’, I’ve never heard it as a metaphor before today.

                  Coming from over 10 years on a horse/donkey ranch, I speak from real life experience. I didn’t realize that people were so dumb as to think you whip such a large animal with a stick, that’s just fucking stupid and asking to die by the animal’s hooves.

                  So once again, there’s a reason they make horse/donkey whips, and if you don’t know what that is, well go spend a few days on a large animal farm and learn how dangerous the untrained can be.

                    No one thinks this nor is saying it. You’re the person screaming WHAT ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE WOOKIES when everyone is talking about what to have for lunch right now. Get it together, it’s embarrassing

                    “No experience with said metaphor”, we tried to help you

                    If you can’t figure out what we’re talking about with a thread full of context then I don’t know what to tell you. Either way, you can take a lesson learned here or not, I don’t particularly care anymore.

              Funny you think you are.

              You don’t hit a donkey or a horse with a stick, unless you want your face kicked in. Which actually happened on our ranch, thankfully not to me though.

              You ever heard of a horse whip? Do you know how to use them? They’re usually over 8 feet long, and when swung, aimed and popped correctly, that pop exceeds the speed of sound, keeping the trainers at a safe distance with a safe advantage.

              Wanna try again troll? I literally grew up on a horse ranch, and the proper tools of training horses and donkeys would rip your flesh open.
