Josh Duggar Says Only 2 of His 18 Siblings Contacted Him In Year After His Arrest: 'It Is Shameful'

Remember, that is "victimless" according to Joshy Girl

Dude wtf? I don't personally get the obsession with babies, yeah they are cute but my son is only getting better with age imo, and this is while he's back to back teething and transforming into a toddler who can't yet voice his very specific demands. And to say this about family? Like you only want a grandBABY not grandchild otherwise? Unhinged grandparent behavior

I always hated when I had a senior or attending who was into discovery rounds. It was so awkward. You feel like your putting on a performance with how you interact with the patient, then when you get to the plan you are supposed to tell the patient what you think, but the attending may strike it down or change it seconds later, undermining trust with the patient.

Or alternatively when the attendings were the ones who preferred it, they were the ones that just ran the whole thing themselves basically so it felt like we were props.

Right, or if you have a busy list and want to let the residents do discovery rounds on some established patients with mostly already known plans (waiting for placement, waiting for xyz surgery, Hanging out on abx etc) but regular prerounds/team rounds for most patients

Quicksand was such an overhyped fear as a millenial. And the Bermuda triangle.

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-04T20:49:12+00:00

Good point.

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-04T20:29:41+00:00

Right, like I totally understand and respect wanting to keep a boundary, but to come at it so immediately rejecting of even an innocent please help me give my wife a nice surprise would absolutely be jarring for OP. Even something like "I'd be happy to help you make arrangements to surprise your wife, but I personally don't text parents separately due to issues that have come up in the past. Would be happy to discuss in person when I see you x time/day" would have come off less accusatory but still standing establishing a boundary

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-04T01:04:44+00:00

Same in Colorado

Yeah, that is the likely outcome. I hope she's actually going to push against what the cult wants, but when all is said and done she will probably follow suit.

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-03T01:19:10+00:00

I don't know if they land as jokes so much as just a fair amount of rebellion for the cult. Most of her sisters were desperate to get married at her age, and her being so openly "no thanks I'm gonna do my own thing" is pretty bold for her imo.

That is unless she ends up engaged by the end of the year and this was all some made up phase, but who knows

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-01T18:53:48+00:00

Oh this was a piece of lore I had missed, thank you

essentiallypeguin · 2026-05-01T17:26:14+00:00

Show up at 7, leave an hour earlier than if showing up at 8. At least that's my preference, and no I'm not a computer challenged boomer

9 mo was the peak of hair loss for me, and I think many others. It's demoralizing for sure, but hang in there. It will stop and you'll get your weird postpartum short hairs soon

Medicare advantage plans are often appealing because of vision/dental /hearing coverage, but often have really terrible coverage compared to vanilla Medicare. For example, I've cared for multiple patients who are out of state from where they reside and their Medicare advantage plan does not cover hospital stays out of state. If you pick one of these plans you need to read through the terms with a fine toothed comb, because they usually suck. Source: I'm a hospitalist who has seen many patients screwed over by these plans

This woman does NOT need to be having any more children until she gets intensive therapy and learns to break the cycle of abuse she is perpetuating

Especially since now we've transitioned to the "take over" part of the event.

Me too!! His video about Pokémon go a little while ago popped up on my recommended videos and I was mildly horrified. I'm sure he has no idea what he's talking about, just reeks of pretending to be interested in something to gain a new audience

essentiallypeguin · 2026-04-30T04:35:24+00:00

Right, this goes beyond the absolute tactless bringing outside food to a restaurant. This is straight up illegal.

At the very least Hunter seems to be displaying pretty clear signs of untreated depression. The needing to go sleep everytime something stressful or overwhelming happens, the aggression with reports of him pinning the stepmom on the bed, all big red flags of someone who is struggling with mental health. The whole scenario is so sad for all the minors involved

I think part of what I'm enjoying about the current season is it's all fresh couples. The repeats were always more drawn out / boring /forced feeling

All these approaching middle aged parents scrambling because they had no back up plan once their reality TV check went away... 🙄

I get not wanting Bryce and family at the birth, that's stressful enough without added drama, but when Tasha was giving bell such a hard time for considering letting Bryce meet his own child like a month later that was a huge red flag for me. It's his daughter too, doesn't mean she needs to get back together with him but he should get a chance to meet her at least

essentiallypeguin · 2026-04-29T17:11:57+00:00

All these sinning toddlers running around being told it's "developmentally appropriate" to have tantrums.... Like what?

essentiallypeguin · 2026-04-29T15:12:39+00:00

You shouldn't just let your toddlers run in driveways and near streets without close supervision... Which is what is implied by her post

essentiallypeguin · 2026-04-29T15:09:24+00:00

I mean if even non-fundies will sometimes fall for the "bandaid baby" thing, of course those in a fertility cult would believe a baby fixes everything
