A Chinese state sponsored Cyber attack by a hacker known as APT 31 aimed at the UK voting system and members of parliament in 2021/22, has been exposed by the UK government today. The announcement has just been made and exposes the Chinese government and their actions. Fortunately the cyber attack was unsuccessful due to UK security measures. This makes everyone aware of the threat that China poses to democracies.

Being almost 40, with no partner for my entire adult life, I feel it's time to once again throw caution to the wind and go on a blind date, to see who I can meet.

I am not very demanding of my future blind date: Be a decent person and be employed full time. I don't want to end up with a raging racist/homophobic person who is broke. Someone who loves to laugh, would also be nice. It doesn't have to be in a restaurant or in a cafe. A walk and talk is much better. Just for an hour, to see if there's chemistry. I am always suggesting meeting in a public place, with lots of people. If there's a second date, it could be in a restaurant or in cafe. Third date could be in the cinema, and the fourth date could be in a theme park.

The time to visit each other in their private homes is only when we both feel like it's the right time to do that. No point in pressuring to meet privately for the first time. You'd want to see if the person you're on a blind date with is sane and not a creepy serial killer like person.

The thing I have heard most from women, going on blind dates - or any date - is that the guy they're meeting won't take no for an answer or are way too creepy. I saw a tiktok about a woman from England who met a guy on a dating app. They agreed to meet, but the guy kept trying to arrange to meet where the woman lived. Naturally, it was a hard no from her side, but the guy didn't catch on.

As you could imagine, meeting up in a public place wasn't his ideal location, because he packed an overnight bag because apparently, he thought he's get lucky with her.

Men like that are the reason why the men, who aren't creeps, get a harder and harder time finding a date. Once, I met someone online, and after a few weeks it was time to meet in person. She said to me "Now you're probably demanding to meet at my place, right?", to which I said "No. I prefer to meet at a public place with lots of people, and if you decide not to pursue this further, that's fine". It only resulted in that first date, which I respected.

I am blabbing on. The point is, that I want to meet someone new. Hopefully that will happen soon.

In other topics: A new movie to my collection. This time, it's a fairly new horror movie, called The Last Voyage of the Demeter. It's a supernatural horror movie based on a chapter in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, from 1897. The film is, naturally, about Dracula and the terror and horror he inflicted on the Demeter.

It's a fun and very gory time. It's not very creepy, but the creature design can be a bit frightening to younger viewers.

It's also a bit sad at times, and downright depressing at other times, but most of all: It's very good! If you are a fan of supernatural horror movies with lots of blood, give The Last Voyage of the Demeter a view!

Thank goodness that jerk finally died. Half the people liked him and half loathed him. I hated him for decades. I never figured out how he got his hooks into our government and leaders that allowed him to control the narrative for all these years.
For anything he did that was wise, he countered with evil. Nixon kissed his butt and we bombed Cambodia in secret.
Funny thing I noticed. When a noted person dies, media covers every aspect of everything they did. Groups gather to honor and accolades flood the air waves. In the case of Henry K, I saw media noting he died at 100 and now crickets. You tube has videos of his evil. Sanders railed years back against him.
Perhaps the powers that be wish to lay low so they adjoining evil doesn't get aired?

i was surprised that i do not see anyone talking about this. your well will not belong to you and be public. you will need permits for everything, the only water you can use to grow will be rainwater you collect but even that can change. if a person plans to live off grid oregon is not the place for you.

America wants to keep our beloved constitution which controls governments in the USA. We liked our liberties.
We liked our affordable cars and cosmetics and affordable food. We enjoy independence that goes with home ownership, use our cars to take us where we want to go when we want to go. Why is biden becoming the biggest saver this country has ever seen. Why cant biden be charge with treason.why donwe deserve a puppet. Why do we want to become the majority of Europe.
Our own government will destroy us through our census.

How many people know anything about their grandparents grandparents ?? even their name?

We are only here for a very short time and once the memory of us is gone we never existed

The PS artists' works are really good these days. Feel free to contribute recent Political Satire.

Like him or not, Micheal Cohen brought up some interesting discussion about how Trump could raise money to post bond for the New York civil fraud trial. Trump had claimed to have the cash. He doesn't or he would have posted bond and stop the accruing interest.
If he liquidates properties, it won't be soon and he will have to pay taxes on the long-term capital gains, as high as 40% and pay off mortgages too.
Chubb already fronted money for the defamation case against E. Jean Carroll. What corporation or billionaire will front him money knowing there's a chance it won't be repaid?

There's always a suspicion he will back channel money from a foreign government... Saudi or Russian. That would put him in a compromising position of favoritism should he make it to the White House. Other suspicions are he's holding on to some of the classified documents that could be a negotiating tool. Cohen states our national security is at risk.
As he says... it's No Joke.

Zeus is unique because he is the ruler, protector and father of all god's and humans.
Believing in one god is the same as believing in another. If you believe in Zeus, then it's the same as believing in Jehovah.

It was a beautiful warm spring day. I decided to go for a walk in the woods.
Enjoying the beauty of a lovely day, I suddenly realized that I could hear no sounds. No cars, no airplans, no birds.
Something was wrong!
Suddenly I hear the roar of a lion!
A Lion ! Is there a zoo near here? No! Is there a circus nearby? I could not remember if I had read about one, but a lion can walk many kilometers a day. Why has there been no warning? The lion showed no interest in me and continued walking parallel to me about 10 meters away. My lucky day, The lion is not hungry. The silence was unbearable, so strange, then suddenly there was a strange roaring sound coming from the south, like thunder and lightening altogether.
The noise came nearer, it was not an ordinary storm, a hurricane? I should not be in these woods during a hurricane. A big branch falls down from the tree near me. If I stay here I am sure to be a nice easy meal for that lion. I have one option, get into the open. I ran, although I did not know where I was going, I thought, the lion may know, and I followed his path. 5 minutes later, I saw the wide opening with green like grass. It was a large opening and not one tree.
I lay down and did not look up, afraid to get something into my eyes.
My eyes are closed and I am lying on the ground. Suddenly I hear very heavy feet stampeding near me. I open my eyes and see the under foot of an elephant. I was right, circus animals are free, probably it happened because of the hurricane,
I look to see where is the elephant running to? Animals have a 7th sense to save themselves.
I see at to end of the opening a building? It is silver metal with small windows along all the length. More like an airplane than a building.

I decide to run into this silver metal thing. The opening is very large and has a low ramp. I look inside and see many animals. Several Lamas, sheep, goats and also the elephant.
It reminded me of Noah's ark, only the animals were not in pairs. On one side there were several people including some children. I went to sit on the ground next to them,
No one spoke, even the animals were quiet.
I sat there for hours and, fell asleep.
When I woke up, most of the animals were no longer inside and all people had left.
The sun is beaming into the vehicle. Only a few sheep and goats were still inside.
As there was no hurricane now, I decide to leave too,
Leaving by the ramp I saw that the place was a different place to where I went into the vehicle. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and exotic plantation caught my eyes.
I could hear water from the distance and decided to go an have a look.
There were pathways in all directions, so I used one of these paths so as not to tread on the beautiful exotic plants.
The sound of water was coming from a waterfall, Below I could see the water, shining in the sun. In the water I saw crocodiles, and ducks swimming on the water, a giraffe was drinking at the edge,
Now nothing more surprised me, nothing made sense. The animals you never would see in the same place all seemed happy to be near each other.
I continued walking the path, the vegetation was lush and so many exotic plants were flowering, it was like in a botany garden.
Everything was like in slow motion, like everyone had all the time in the world. The feeling was calm, warm, happy, content.
Am I dreaming? I pinch myself, no, I am awake! I decide to go back to the metallic silver vehicle.
I walk back, 2-3 people are sitting inside, I sit, getting sleepy.

A woman speaks: Awake! I will call the doctor!
The doctor comes into the room. He says: You were in a coma for 5 days, we had to revive you twice, once it took quite a long time.

Now I understand where I had been. I had a quick look into my future.

Later, looking at the news on the room TV I saw that there was a circus accident and that an elephant and one lion were killed. The circus was far away in a different country.
