Countercounterpoint: this thread doesn’t automatically scroll me randomly while I’m trying catch up because someone posted a new Bernie meme.

Okay, I figured that's what happened.

I dip in to the discord now and then, but it ends up being too much to catch up on.

Simple. Make lots of individual channels and name them obscurely. Then the conversation will diffuse and everybody’s just confused all the time

And never scroll up

The med discord is iffy about any lawyers being involved generally. Lawyers involved in med mal would probably be a big nope.

This is why we need some JD/MDs to bridge the gap.

There is no loving way I’d let any of my MD/JD friends into our discord. Entirely because of the deafening chorus of pigshitballs and cumchat

Nothing to catch up on, we purge constantly so there's no huge backlog. Discord-user privilege. Or something.

Med discord sucks, I've had an alt in there for a while and all the talk is about favourite drugs to steal, golf and how nurses are bad at your jobs.

i am upset you didn't link this because it is the rare sequel that is even better than the original: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1120287/gov.uscourts.txwd.1120287.10.0.pdf

perhaps my favorite is this footnote

quote:

6 Further complicating this process is Counsel’s intense amount of sleep-deprivation, having to do the work of
several attorneys, mostly alone, with a skeleton staff while being plagued with threats to his safety and an
apparent act of vandalism at his home where someone stuffed bundles of wood and garbage into the drain sewer
at his home causing a massive sewage backup. Indeed, it is now 5:21 A.M. and counsel has not slept in an attempt
to get more reasonable relief in front of the Court prior to the court opening at 9:00 A.M.

Public defenders, on the other hand, do not, and therefore are not
