Date: March 27th, 2025 12:59 PM Author: vermilion wonderful hunting ground There were three I can remember. This one guy was the most popular kid in middle school. He even had a hot blonde gf. He was fuckin way before everyone else.
One day he went schitzo and started lightning fires and got arrested for arson and they realized he was schitzo af. He went from leading man to insane asylum.
He dropped out, changed his name, grew a beard and became a painter. I think he paints his internal demons. He was like a cheeky Michael J Fox type beforehand. He could cut a rug. I never saw him again but I saw his fucked up paintings. His ex gf grew up, had a ton of dick in college, married Chad and they have two kids now and are turbo woke. White family with BLM photos in everything.
The other was this dude junior year hs. He seemed normal and charismatic. One day he just dropped out of school and started living on the street in the city. I ran into him downtown a few times I was like how's it hanging. He just said school wasn't for him and he wanted to be a photographer or something. Idk just seemed like nothing was really that wrong with him but he was committed to being a loser I'm not sure. He could have just stayed on a normal path.
Last one was this chick with super hippie parents this white suburban girl she ran away from home and got knocked up by a black drug dealer. She was addicted to heroin for a while. She used to be really normal. I think her parents didn't give a fuck what she did. I last saw her working at a gas station her eyes seemed completely glazed over and she was slack jawed. People thought she was going places before she hit like 15 and started wilding out. |

But a dude I knew in college came back from a winter break completely insane, got kicked out of the dorm, etc. Went from uberchad to psycho dropout. |

Date: March 27th, 2025 1:52 PM Author: vermilion wonderful hunting ground There were a bunch of these in college. Gigachads who flew too close to the sun.
Fuck that reminds me of some other guy I knew. He moved to Colorado to become a weed grower. He looked like a Winklevoss twin. We used to be friends but we had a falling out one summer. He used to tell me about all his hookups and shit and his rampant cheatmoing. One day I messaged him on AIM and I was like how's all the hos doing. He said his gf saw the message and found out about his bad behavior and broke up with him and he blamed me for it and was like YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD TO ME like it was all my fault. I had no idea his gf would be logged in on his sn.
Anyway he was pretty insane but 6'6" blonde and chiseled. Parents were rich. I am 99% sure he was completely psychologically addicted to weed. Definitely had several personality disorders. I always had a soft spot for him. He loved weed, skiing, women, and Oakleys.
He had a brother who was completely normal. |

Went to college at U Michigan, joined some frat. He came home for Christmas break, and was all weird. Dressed kinda hippy, smelled like weed all the time, had this crazy look in his eyes, just didn't seem all "there." That next summer he came home and was straight up weird as fuck, like not the same guy as he used to be. I think he dropped out of Michigan and worked for a couple years at a UPS Store, but now literally no one knows where he is or how he is doing.

Date: March 27th, 2025 1:57 PM Author: vermilion wonderful hunting ground I had a buddy who dropped out and worked at Kinkos. He was from Ireland. He was into crack and tagging and then became a manager at Kinkos. He was not built for this world. A true bon vivant. He used to tell me the pollution was so bad in Dublin that he had asthma all the time and moving to America cured his asthma. He used to do drugs and have sex every weekend which made him the de facto coolest person I knew in the 10th grade. I hope the Kinkos buyout didn't affect his trajectory as a rising scumprole.

He was even getting recruited by some d3 schools. He was also a little ghetto and got in fights and shit. dude was epitome of scum-jock. Anyway senior year rolls around and he's nowhere in sight. Apparently he was more into drugs during junior year than we thought because dude was full blown addict and got kicked out of school. he worked in a warehouse and got his own apartment. we would go over and party. it was actually 180. the downside though is I believe he still works at that same warehouse and lives in that same apartment 25 years later.

Date: March 28th, 2025 12:24 PM Author: deep green brethren Several cute girls who went from UMC Mommy track lives to permanent retail worker subclass based almost solely on their taste in men.
Several who entered the military at the start of the GWOT and didn’t come out the other end of their service okay.
Several who flamed out on drugs.
But the most memorable was the salutatorian who had a coveted full ride to our flagship state school and then proceeded to flame out in his first semester because he literally never went to class. Just played Halo in his room smoking weed all day and then went out drinking all night. Every single day. Withdrew before getting his grades back and losing his scholarship. Went into the Peace Corps. Or Americorps or some thing for two years. Eventually came back, graduated, but has been on a middling trajectory ever since. Barely middle management at some RTP tech company these days. In HS he was the guy you were sure would be running something major one day, or a founder, something. But once he lost that spark it was just *gone* |

Date: March 28th, 2025 12:39 PM Author: vermilion wonderful hunting ground Every year hundreds if not thousands of college students get expelled for sitting in their dorm all day playing WoW or whatever. Insane. Would love to see the statistics on this. Our campus had a ton of these dudes who just played vidya until they were gone.
Your first part reminded me of someone. There was this low IQ busty jewess I grew up with who was very popular. She ended up marrying a Marine right out of hs. No idea what happened but it's goofy as hell looking back. She could have married a white collar professional or gotten a career but her prole DNA kicked in and she went for blue collar Chad. It's funny how life happens she could have been really successful but she proled out big time. It's funny how evolution works you have all of these societal forces propping up civilization and then you just get people who follow their twot to the bottom because they can't help it. |

Date: March 28th, 2025 1:13 PM Author: deep green brethren The societal impacts of modern assortative mating are under discussed. There’s all this focus on swipe apps making the dating markets too liquid. But what’s really happening downstream is an absolute ossification of social strata because no one marries up/down. Dating markets are also *too big* and so people sort out in this way. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5700592&forum_id=2#48791339) |

Date: March 28th, 2025 2:11 PM Author: deep green brethren Formerly there were local communities that interacted with one another through important social institutions, like the church, and the schools, the town’s governance, and so on.
And in these communities a man from a successful family might marry the beautiful but simple girl from a poor family. And in so doing her whole family’s circumstances might be improved. Her brother advances at her husband’s family business, etc.
Similarly a bright and promising young man might hope to marry the daughter of one of the rich families to everyone’s mutual benefit. He would find the resources and opportunities to make the best use of his skills. The family would benefit from the industriousness of new blood.
But now it’s just lawyers marrying lawyers and doctors marrying doctors. College educated young people in cities are pooled into a giant, limitless, dating market. And so they all just keep swiping. The promise of someone prettier or taller or with a bit more money always one flick of the thumb away. And if they do settle down it’s with someone exactly like themselves. Meanwhile the proles sink further into proledom, associating with only one another. Everybody in their separate spheres. Social mobility and cohesion gone. Social institutions rotted. |

Date: March 28th, 2025 2:21 PM Author: vermilion wonderful hunting ground Charles Murray wrote a whole book about this fwiw.
He calls white collar professionals intermarrying "Belmont" and proles descending into chaos as "Fishtown. Ironically I think the real Fishtown got gentrified and might be somewhat upscale now. And Belmont is more middle middle class than UMC but who's counting. |

But marrying some infantry private doesn't lead to a stable life for most folks. Usually the wives all end up on crack selling OF subscriptions.

Date: March 28th, 2025 2:35 PM Author: twinkling house half-breed I see I've been paged. Don't know that I have a really good high school drop out story. Several people dropped out, but nothing super weird happened. If you were a guy that meant instant basic training.
I do have a pretty good college story though. When I was a senior this really weird (if you're weird at MIT, you are pretty fucking weird) freshman showed up. He had a bad acid trip and disappeared. Before he disappeared he used to say he could tell which people were disguised demons and that they spoke thusly, "Bee-bop de doop." Turns out he traveled to Jerusalem and desecrated the Holy Sepulcher. I heard he pissed on it. His parents finally found him and sent him off to a psych hospital. After I graduated I heard that he was back in school but while smoking hash had another psychotic break. According to the NYT this is what happened next:
"On Thursday he killed a woman custodian at a Catholic church and wounded four other people, two seriously, with a .22‐caliber rifle. He was shot and killed by policemen about 30 minutes later on the busy Gonzaga University campus.
Before the shooting began, police said that he had smashed an Italian marble communion railing inside St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church and thousands of dollars' worth of religious statues with a sledge hammer."
We have our 60th HS reunion coming up in the fall. Maybe I will get some new stories.
