  • I’m in the US. Got a text from my son, 12th grade, the other day at 12:09pm that said, “we just had our sixth fight today”

    To clarify, he did mean 6th of the day, not the school year. He goes to the worst highschool in the area. Anyone with the capabilities gets their kids in a different school. We do not have those abilities. On the upside, he’s learning how to avoid conflict and enjoying his phlebotomy class. He’ll even be a certified phlebotomist by the end of the year (assuming his teacher can get access to funding for supplies that she’s currently disappearing from her hospital job)!

    *I’m donating blood tomorrow at the local bank. Usually donate a few times a year, but scheduled for tomorrow for a specific reason. I have name and phone number of his teacher, and a list of supplies. I’m donating now to give me an excuse to ask for a supply donation from the blood bank. It’s a long shot, but the answer is always no when you don’t ask 🤷‍♀️

    I’m not sure you know enough about the general relationship between Elvis and his manager “Colonel” Tom Parker, to be making assumptions like Elvis having a remotely equal say in career decisions.

    Yes he did scam Elvis. He did that a lot infact.

    He was also not a Colonel, even though he told people he was. He stole money from Presley to cover gambling debts, that’s on top of his 50% managers cut. He prevented Elvis from touring Europe due to his own immigration status. Also pressured Presley into film, as opposed to focusing more on music.

    Parker did pressure Elvis into the military. Hell, he even influenced the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla, whom Elvis met while serving.


  • For shits and giggles, I tried to go the path of “yeah but…” starting with his nickname. Surely he was named “big balls” a decade or so ago by other people, no he named himself. Surely his previous connections are just that, previous and years if not decades old, no, it’s 2 years, at most.

    “Big Balls” is 19 y/o 🙄 at this point. He gave himself that name and has ties to unknown hackers. He has “senior advisor” status, filling a role, that should likely be filled by a bureaucrat accountant - as opposed to a kid whose resume is being a ‘techbro with hacker connections’ and programming knowledge.

    I just have to curse here. Jesus fucking Christ! What the hell! Dummkopf, i’idiot, idiota, was zur holle, що в біса, що в біса
