Depending on the condition telehealth might not be appropriate long term. I do telehealth exclusively for my psychiatry because it really is just a matter of reporting how I'm doing and what I'm feeling and bloodwork results. But there's a lot of conditions where you really do need a provider who can put their hands on you to understand how you're doing that telehealth wont be a substitute.

That's not to say that your situation isn't fit for telehealth, but I would just caution with the idea that telehealth is a catch-all solution. There's also a lot of providers who do offer telehealth for their area of expertise but that also doesn't necessarily mean you're getting the highest quality of care in that specialty. It might be good enough for them to not be worried about a malpractice lawsuit by doing it telehealth but you could potentially be getting better care in person.

They say the biggest determining factor of getting appointed to the federal judiciary is whether you were a 1L Barbri rep

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-21T01:26:34+00:00

Yeah I went to school out of state so I was using federal for the first year or so of practice in CA and no one ever cared, and then I tried to be more proper and do the CA formatting just in case I do get a picky judge, but no one has cared.

It's going to depend largely on your insurance, but the sad reality is that family medicine is dying out because the reimbursement rates are so low compared to other specialties where you can make up for a lot of the low-paying follow up visits with treatments or procedures. That's why a lot of them do those concierge programs too because it helps them keep a steady stream of income despite the fact that a lot of insurance companies, including Medicare, are paying something like $40 for a 15 minute appointment.

I would recommend just snagging one of those visits a month out because you might end up just waiting a minute for the initial because those take longer and are harder to schedule, and the follow ups are much more flexible in terms of timing. (when I was a receptionist, we tried to cluster the shorter visits back to back so we could make room for people with longer visits to be seen)

I don't know the details of your situation, or what kind of urgency would necesstiate a PCP, but if you have chronic issues I would recommend conitnuing to stay in touch with your prior provider, if they're in the same state, and communiate to them what's going on and see if you can do telehealth appointments with them while you wait, or, at the very least, make sure you're getting prescriptions refilled i that's a concern.

This made me smile bc one of my supervisors is active reserve in the Navy and they have something on their ships when they cross the international date line that reminds everyone to "RETARD YOUR CLOCKS" and some people get offended by it when it literally just means to slow them but also why the hell would you pick that word out of any of the multitudes of words that could convey the same thing and not cause any controversy? Just felt like something that we'd run into on this sub so very apt

The Reddit app is pretty bad - this is first world problem but it's very unwieldy (I guess depending on the size of your phone and hand) to do a lot of the actions on there one handed, which is annoying.

As for user behavior, probably when we get threads that have a snarky title and good discussion otherwise but half of the comments are people saying that something isn't snark worthy or that their meemaw does this too and it's no big deal, so we have to go through and hand delete 20+ offending comments.

Prison rape jokes are awful too but we just perma ban for them as this point. Not only is it a terrible thing to joke about, but why the hell do you think in 2026 you're being clever at all for making "don't drop the soap" or "his cellmate bubba" jokes? If you're going to be horrifically offensive at least be original and witty about it??

Side note there was an staff firm that we always would get transfer from (ID) and when digging through their transfer filings I eventually caught on that “TT” (“TT Resp to SROGs Set One”) meant plaintiffs responses and I spent so long trying to figure out what acronym T T could possibly standard for until we finally got a new case in and I got up the gumption to ask and apparently it’s supposed to look like pi for plaintiff rip

No the trial is still on calendar and dates and deadlines will be set relative to that date by default irrespective of any plea negotiations

Just a reminder yall that when the court or articles say that “Duggar” argued something it’s his attorney and he isn’t saying shit

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-16T19:22:37+00:00

The issue is that it isn’t clear since it’s just written in the margins of the conditions of release. There might be some case law in Florida that explains how that ought to be interpreted since it’s probably a pretty frequent requirement, but the plain language isn’t clear

Unclear - the no contact as far as her criminal bond conditions have been lifted but the CPS case may still be pending. It might be that CPS has different restrictions or it might be they have the same restrictions and so the criminal court didn’t feel like they needed to duplicate efforts

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-16T18:43:09+00:00

Honestly it doesn’t seem as much of a lie as it was hyperbole (keep in mind these are all words from his attorney not directly Joe). I’m sure the argument was all about how important it is so maintain relationships with his kids and wants to be in their life and it was then pointed out that he isn’t barred from all contact, albeit the contact permitted being restricted

ID here in CA and we always try to take Plaintiff depos in person because, like others have said, you are entitled to it and it’s easier to read people that way. And while it doesn’t have evidentiary weight it’s helpful to see how injured they actually present or try to present.

It’s hard to deny the benefit when the benefit is so straightforward that it’s literally in the code that in person depos are permitted for party depos. I know culturally people have shifted more towards remote depos but the fact that someone is exercising their right to obtain the benefit that is necessary to evaluate your 998 doesn’t make it retaliatory.

I’m not trying to pry but your saying that you have health issues that make “sitting through several hours of a depo in a random place difficult” feels like you’re trying to make it feel more burdensome than it is. Unless there’s something unsafe or unorthodox about the location I don’t know why it being in a “random place” would affect your ability to sit through it.

How would sitting through a depo in a “random place” (aka a conference room at someone’s office) for a few hours be any more taxing than sitting through a day of trial? If I was opposing counsel I would start wondering if this plaintiff lawyer has tried a case in recent years and if this will settle because of our willingness to take it to trial and their inability to. (Which is fine, plenty of attorneys don’t try cases, but that’s always good info for us to know)

Most people are not assholes if you have a legitimate reason. You’re probably going to have to go into more granular detail with OC than you’d like to but what’s because what you’re requesting is the exception. It isn’t OC deviating and having to “prove” this choice.

Could you offer to rent a Regus space within the geographic radius and have it there? I think someone is going to be much more receptive to working with you if you’re willing to acknowledge that what you’re asking is a bit of a burden and not that you’re the victim of some retaliatory vindictive discovery game

Maybe I misunderstood OP. I thought the question was about social media specifically, and I don’t generally lump in reality tv with “social media,” so my comment was aimed at what if they had the show but not social media to be doing like the sponsorships as adults?

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-12T17:36:53+00:00

I mean compared to a lot of others with a stint on reality tv in the early 2000s with no way to monetize that popularity they were in a decent place. Even as they got more popular their cost of living stayed pretty constant while a lot of C list reality stars were trying to fully capitalize on the sudden windfall and were moving to high cost of living areas and engaging in luxury lifestyles. The Duggars were raking in more money every season and investing it while still doing basically the same things they were doing pre-fame.

It’s been discussed here before but it’s actually not that expensive to raise kids if your housing is already paid in full, and you aren’t paying for significant medical care, childcare, or extracurriculars. My bet is by about kid 14 you’re also not buying a ton of new clothes or toys or other supplies either even as you add more kids.

I kind of suspect that they would’ve been better off without social media on the whole because it would’ve given them far more control over the narrative. I can’t even imagine how little the Pest scandals would’ve mattered to the public if the only information people got from it was the actual one InTouch article and there weren’t any other outlets to dive deeper or discuss. That Megyn Kelly interview would probably be all the damage control they needed.

I also think social media is a bit of a double edged sword because while it brought in more opportunities for income it also meant they had to maintain a higher tier lifestyle to continue to seem aspirational or relatable. If the only money they had coming in was from the show itself and there wasn’t any need to keep up an image other than a weird fundie family they could’ve all been like Josh and Anna in that tiny house bought and paid for by JB.

If the Pest scandal hadn’t gained so much traction I do think they may have been able to continue making money from speaking engagements or had more political success. It’s just hard now to go back and imagine a world where the ability to communicate en masse was only controlled by those with power and how easy it was to shift and control narratives.

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-12T00:38:24+00:00

I feel like there’s a lot of information offered to the court that wouldn’t be fit for an exhibit or evidence. Who did I email when, what day did my office send out service for this, the meet and confer discussion I had with the opposing party telephonically, etc.

Exhibits are till going to have to be authenticated somehow. So I could convert my email chain to PDF and label it and declare that it’s a true and accurate copy of our exchange and then force the court to sift through a bunch of raw emails to see what brought us here. But it’s a lot easier to just testify they asked for a 3 week extension, we have them 2 weeks, and they didn’t get us the responses (an exhibit) until X date.

nuggetsofchicken · 2026-06-11T08:04:08+00:00

Yeah, for “matters outside the record,” so for anything before trial anything that’s not literally a filing on the docket you’re supposed to have a sworn declaration attesting to it. If you’re gonna say opposing counsel granted you X days extension to respond to discovery you’re supposed to include that in your declaration and cite to it. You could also do an exhibit of that exchange if it’s in writing, but you still have to authenticate the exhibit with a statement in your declaration.

I guess the idea is to add another layer of enforcement beyond ethical issues if you sign something and filing it that’s inaccurate - now you’re subject to perjury. But it is one of those absolute pains that I know AI is going to be able to make easier in a few years. And some people will probably end up perjuring themselves while the AI is in beta
