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?

      I have no idea how you would do that literally. Yeah, it's just an expression

        The original saying is "to throw out the child with the bathwater." It refers to a tiny, portable bathtub you just use for babies, and these tubs aren't drained by pulling a plug, you just turn them over to empty out the bathwater. Obviously, you want to remove the baby from the tub before you do that.
