While randomly googling I found out that someone I liked in high school now works for the ADL. She was nice and one of the top students in our class, but I guess not really too creative? She never expressed any political opinions but was clearly a lib. She was also one of the popular girls who thought they were better than everyone else. I was still kind of shocked when I found out. Like...how can you do this?

As I think about it, another girl I liked in high school is now attending an obscure medical school which is kind of controversial for graduating a bunch of anti-vaxxers or something. She was one of the best students in our class as well and also really nice.

Who do YOU know who has ended up doing something totally awful?

    That's the worst.

    I know a girl that was raised by an ultraconservative asshole of a mother, she's still a friend of my spouse's (they're not on terms as solid as they used to be). Typical bullshit, girl's mother told one of our good mutual friends that they're going to hell for having premarital sex with her soon to be husband, all those fun things.

    But for a while, the daughter seemed like she was gonna break away; she got a little too crazy in college, but not anything that made me think she was going to wind up dead in a dumpster or something, just typical cutting loose and getting more liberal (and even a bit leftwing in some aspects). But she married a guy from a real religious family and just...settled right back into that rut. All her views skewed right again, they had a kid and are gonna raise it heavily religious, she's living with her mother for a bit because they're having their house built...

    Just eh. Most of the friends are getting close to cutting her and the husband out, they're all getting done with her for various reasons
