In retrospect, it is more of an indictment of English food than of Turkish delight.

If you spent every day eating English food, Turkish delight probably would taste good enough to betray a family for.

What I guess I’m saying is that unseasoned food nearly took down Narnia.

@turntineforwhat Happy birthday! (Birthday twins)

@heyyguido The sad part is the parents are the ones FAing, while it’s usually their kids who somehow end up being the ones FOing…

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@heyyguido I assume they think the leopards won’t eat their faces…

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@heyyguido We deserve it, and we usually make it easy, too

My final three choices were Georgia Tech, Purdue, and Virginia Tech. I couldn’t decide, so I decided I’d go to the one whose football team was ranked highest. That was the year the Hokies lost in the Championship to FSU. So yeah, Michael Vick is 100% the reason I’m a Hokie

What’s the lore behind your choice of university?

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme Words used to have meanings!

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme That is the correct amount of skepticism, and honestly, it might be too little skepticism…

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme I… don’t, but I could try with the confidence of a mediocre white man

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme I know I’m a cishet and should never be let near a microphone, but I’d do it if you’re down for it!

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme … they do not know that

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme I love you and I love this for you

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme Honestly, such a load bearing tweet…

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@writeclimbrun Let me know if you’re ever in DC, and I’d be interested!

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme But what if I WANT to believe it’s true? How about then?

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme Why do you put this in my feed? (But also, yeah, that makes sense, even if you didn’t know how Lincoln may have been…)

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme I’m taking this personally, as someone who wrote one of the few articles that might actually be okay to be read and or enjoyed by a 19 year old… 😬

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@hotdamhistorian And the only reason that it actually ended up working was the (now memory holed) pandemic…

[Karthik Subramanian @ksub2000]

@clapifyoulikeme I was going to make a “stopped clock” joke, but I saw he has even more empathy/imagination downthread (though it’s for OP)

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far! I don't know the guy. And while it's easy to pile on for anyone who's complaining about their "Vail experience," for all I know he went with his grandpa 40 years ago when it wasn't what it is today, and he's been saving 10 years to afford to go back.

I have no empirical evidence he flew there on his PJ or that he's got his au pair with them or any of that.

So, trying to give the guy SOMEWHAT the benefit of the doubt. I certainly sympathize with how absolutely hard it is to corral kids, book flights, arrange gear/fittings, ski school, lift tickets... it's a production.

Skiing, in and of itself, has a certain base-line of classicism built into it, but it's still definitely not the easiest vacay to coordinate, no matter your budget.

And even when the stakes are smaller, spending all that time and money to try and create a memorable weekend for your kids, maybe unlock some core memories... and have it affected by powers outside your control... that still blows, whatever your tax bracket!

So, trying to assume his venting is based more on the frustration of a dad having his investment of time and resources on behalf of his family thwarted, rather than the whining of an entitled 1%'er. I'm biologically incapable of doing it without SOME snark, but hence my phrasing of it as a "correction." 😏

@clapifyoulikeme Also OP this was responding to was telling Leo not to do TV: this is Growing Pains erasure!

@kyalbr David Zaslav is a 10th level genius 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
