                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has had there privacy invaded, 24/7 by malicious hackers knows the toll it takes on you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am now a bigger drug addict and alcoholic than before the cyber attack, I think.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But with the help of chatgpt, they are starting to realize their ride of harrassing someone, for no reason, I mean they couldn't get any money. So it was just to be assholes, I guess.</p>
<p>I honestly think, because they knew everything about me, they were just jealous of me not giving a fuck, and saying cunt whenever I wanted, that they wanted to , seems weird to say, but tame me in some way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everytime I would push back they would cut off my internet, or some other dumbass shit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So for the past 3 months I have been living almost as if it were 1985, I know, not really much of a punishment for me lol.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have been binging old shows on dvd, like Melrose place , the bionic man(I love the bugfooteoisodess), lost </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They are a team of an AI and some dude who no doubt still lives in his mother's basement in PV.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I think they ptey on tourists.</p>
<p> it is a really amazing story, which I will tell in great detail, I am thinking I will do a pod cast about it. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I wrote a draft for it last night and since then they have been all up inside my router and  causing whatever chaos they can for me .</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I will admit, I will probably need therapy after this is finally over.its like I have been under cerevalence these past 3 months. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They stole all my important accounts,  so I couldn't</p>
<p>access the site , my YouTube channel and many more important things, and I haven't been able to chat with my 83 year old mother on the east coast for fear they would hack and harass her.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They are totally fucking assholes. And their motive seems to be to just be cunts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I'm sure they have scammned many old ladies, but , even though the last thing I would ever call myself is smart as soon as I knew they were were total frauds I called my financial places and told them the scoop and told them unless I walk thru their door do not do anything.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So they have have totally fucked up my online life as much as possible for the past 3 months, I guess out of spite, although the full story does have a love component to it, so that , I suspect might be fueling them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But finally with the help of my own AI , in the form of chatgpt, I think the end is near. God I hope so.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I mean, look, I've got control of Evolving Slacker back, but they are trying very hard to get it back, that's why I wanted to get this out there incase they steal it again, but I am confident I could Steal, my own ID back now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After chatting with chatgpt this evening they have locked me out of several of my own ID laptops and been messing with my router and internet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They are grade a cunts, not to mention criminals, one of them is one of the most frequent posters here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I haven't heard boo from them until today, until they be realizing their fun of harrassment of me is coming to an end ...soon I hope.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ok, that's enough for tonight, I just wanted to get the story out there incase they completely shut me down.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Peace and love to all of you,  and always use a VPN! </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Peace&#x270c;&#xfe0f;</p>
<p>PS, they have tried to mess with this post the whole time I have been writing it, so God I what it will look like by the time you read this. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Protect yourselves &#x2764;&#xfe0f;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Bio - May- 2025</p>
Established in late 2023, Boston-based thrash metal outfit GIFTKRIEG was formed with the singular
intent to craft music as deadly and infectious as their namesake. In May 2025, they delivered on this
promise with the release of their debut EP, Poison War*.
Poison War is a declaration of thrash metal hostilities that unfolds in 4 acts. In its 18-minute runtime,
the EP pays tribute to both the musicality and technicality of American masters EXODUS,
OVERKILL, and SLAYER as well as the ripping aggression of Teutonic thrash legends SODOM,
KREATOR, and EXUMER, and finished with a dose of traditional metal sensibilities and a nod to the
extended song structures of DIAMOND HEAD.
GIFTKRIEG is vocalist B.F. Lally, guitarist Judson Belmont (ex-Ritualizer, ex-Orsus), bassist Rich
Scanlon (ex-Breaking Wheel), and drummer Chris “Banga” Matranga (ex-Summoning Hate, exDroned).

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="" data-start="174" data-end="473">Hey everyone!<br data-start="187" data-end="190" />I wanted to share how polo teams actually prepare before the season starts. If you think it's just “riding horses around” — nope, not even close. Especially if you're talking about top-tier places like <a href="https://poloschoolargentina.com/about-argentina-polo-school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina Polo School</a>, where players from all over the world come to train.</p>
<p class="" data-start="475" data-end="770"><strong data-start="478" data-end="499">Horses come first</strong><br data-start="499" data-end="502" />Training starts with the horses. Each one has a personalized program: diet, warm-up routines, and fitness sessions. Vets do full checkups, then the horses gradually ramp up in workload — starting with basic fitness, then speed, agility, and responsiveness to commands.</p>
<p class="" data-start="772" data-end="1263"><strong data-start="775" data-end="805">Players train just as hard</strong><br data-start="805" data-end="808" />Every morning begins with physical conditioning — coordination, balance, strength, and stamina work. Then it’s time for on-field practice: hitting technique, ball control, positioning, and teamwork. They play a lot of chukkers (like time periods in polo) to build real game chemistry. After that, it's time for video review — and yes, in places like Argentina Polo School, they even use drones to film overhead so you get a full tactical view. Super cool!</p>
<p class="" data-start="1265" data-end="1580"><strong data-start="1268" data-end="1308">Tactics, team bonding &amp; mental focus</strong><br data-start="1308" data-end="1311" />Besides fitness and drills, team chemistry and mental strength are a huge part of the prep. There are tactical sessions, strategy discussions, and scenario planning. Sports psychologists often work with players too — handling pressure is key at high levels of the game.</p>
<p class="" data-start="1582" data-end="1821"><strong data-start="1585" data-end="1623">Friendly matches before the season</strong><br data-start="1623" data-end="1626" />Toward the end of camp, teams play scrimmage games with other squads. This is the final test — you see how the team works together, how the horses respond, and where adjustments are still needed.</p>
<p class="" data-start="1828" data-end="2093">Bottom line — preseason camps are intense. This is where real teams are built. Players level up, horses get match-fit, and strategy gets sharpened. Without this phase, there’s no success during the season — and no fun either, if you care about playing seriously.</p>
<p class="" data-start="2095" data-end="2279">If you’re curious about polo or thinking of doing a camp yourself, I’d definitely recommend checking out <strong data-start="2200" data-end="2225">Argentina Polo School</strong>. These people really know how to shape champions &#x1f40e;&#x1f525;</p>]]></content:encoded>

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JJKkcMQZGg

I was just laying here chillin, watching a bit of Theo Von, and looking at my aquariums, or fish tank art as I like to call it lol.

I don't want to come across as bragging or anything,...but these scapes are sooo peaceful and feel like living pieces of Art.

As they mature more and more, they really are becoming their own ecosystem.

I have never changed the water in any of them, and I test the water parameters from time to time, and they are all perfect.

<img class="wp-image-1860 size-full" src="https://evolvingslacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_20250408_103514797_HDR_AE-3-scaled.jpg" alt="fish tank art" width="2560" height="1928" /> #Fish Tank Art

&nbsp;

All I do is top them up when evaperation has lowered the water levels. You really have to have deep substrate ot be able to not have to do water changes.

So the poop and exess food can just sink into it and feed the plants, I could put auto feeders on them and I really would never have to do anything.

<img class="wp-image-1861 size-full" src="https://evolvingslacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/4ec111b7-4330-426e-ba86-493d1d4a6cd41-scaled.jpg" alt="fish tank art" width="2560" height="2087" /> #Fish Tank Art

&nbsp;

I am looking into buying micro biom, like scuds and things you can't even really see, that would live and produce rapidly and the fish could eat them, which is their natural food,

Then they would be completely natural tanks, I think that's what excites me most about acuascaping a tank, setting it up to be self sufficient.

&nbsp;

The big 36 gallon with the skulls in it and the motley crue back ground (in case you missed that :)), is the newest one, and it is the first tank I used just regular dirt in the substrate, which I covered with layers of aquasoil, sand, and gravel, the plants really have been growing great in there.

I've had this post written for a few days, but I'm a slacker, so I am just posting now...and I am just doing one video of one...

I'll post another...soon...maybe...I AM a slacker after all lol

Anyway, enjoy...peace....]]></content:encoded>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He and Brock couldn’t fucking believe how fucking many there were! And of course they would eat one for about every 5 or so they put in their bread bags…fuck it! Life is short, baby! </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">By the time they got to the 6th green they had actually filled their fucking bread bags!!!!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">And were really fucking tripping!!!…they would have to sit down, sometimes roll around, they were laughing so fucking hard, they couldn’t breath sometimes, and were constantly wiping their eyes, because they were laughing so fucking hard they were crying, like hard!!! lol. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Holy fuck!! Brock exclaimed, what the fuck are we gonna do with two fucking bread bags full of fucking shrooms dude?????</span>

In between breaths as they layed on the fairway, and smoked cigs. Brock started wondering how many shrooms they actually took, and if you could actually OD on shrooms...

and then asked Austin if he thought you could OD on shrooms, and then they looked at each other, for what seemed like 10 minutes, but was probably about 4 seconds...

Dude your pupils are gigantic, dude your's look like fucking plates dude!

Then they both fucking lost it at the same time, and laughed sooo fucking hard...crawling around on a fairway, in the middle of no where...it was surreal...in everyway...]]></content:encoded>
