Do people even remember high school? Why do people always say such weird pathological shit about it. Why are shows about it that I see people watch so weird.
People who compare everything in real life to high school (including things that are not at all like high school) are people whose lives peaked in high school.
I mean I had a good time wouldn't say I peaked. I would just keep talking to people for ages and going out to eat with them and skipping class. I'm not good at making friends but I was on pretty good terms with everyone. I get why people miss the community. Just never saw the weird cliche shit these guys talk about like the social dynamics idk
People who partied constantly seemed pretty unhappy and emotionally volatile I'd usually just get high and irish goodbye if i showed up to something with more than 2 other people 💀 always had the feeling I didn't want to find out I was an accomplice to an assault or car crash or blackout drinking shit because that was all I heard about like "yeah someone almost died again" and i would just be like :pathetic: that was the gossip. Just disgusting self destruction.
Jocks were just like sweaty guys they did not command some kind of special power. Ridiculous. Like you drink two whole gallons of water at school and become the noogie chieftain
I feel like this is actually just people who did not experience any of these things, or don't even remember what happened, and got them from media, or now interpret their memories based off shows. Or maybe all the districts I were in were just fucking weird. In any case it's a blatantly false attempt to appear relatable.
Oh sports warped the hell out of 2 districts I went to for like a year. In general the dynamic I see is rich people being shitty. Like there was a guy who was brought in from Florida to be a football player they literally bought him an apartment and then they sent him back when he didn't perform, brutal lol. The football guys were very annoying but even in a class with the English teacher + football coach and several of them we didn't have any problem with dunking on them. It did suck there tho very snobby people and someone killed themselves the year I was there.
Presumably for these guys they want to look for other stuff than wealth that warps things. I'd hate to be at some football ass Texas high school.
They don't have to concentrate on any real material friction so they only exist within this abstract space of culture and memory. They get to live in the past and carry those resentments forward because they have no actual grievances with anything. The only thing remaining to occupy your time is this kind of shit. That's why they're so obsessed with social media. Yeah it's their tool to control the public square but it's also a prison for themselves. They get everything they want and still have to find problems.
Twitter was full of coastal elites using moderation to ostracize people with bad thought. Then they buy twitter and it's in the hands of a based free speech activist underdog nerd. Now they're mad the coastal elites abusing mod powers are refusing to pay for it. So they got their precious blue checks for everyone but are now bitter they can't force the millionaire down the street to keep theirs.
Maybe they should try fucking building NEW FEATURES and gating them behind a subscription instead of making the site worse then. People don't like to be left out on a new toy especially if they're rich and it costs nothing you know. People pay to hate listen to stuff.
Public education in the US is just that much of a joke, it practically treats its failures as an endearing quirk about being an American. I don't blame them for remembering how shit it is.
Not shilling for private education, if anything, the US government wants to abolish its education system so all information becomes a popularity contest.
Of course not yeah that's the darkest part is we're in the middle of an ongoing assault on public education that is taking on new dimensions. Surely bankrolled by people who want even more segregation via charter schools, lord fauntleroy's private molestor academy, and Qanon homeschooling

congratulations on not going to a school where the football coach was also the dean.
