@JCup2013 I'm curious what he could have been angling for - to beat Roman? I can't imagine that would rub that many people the wrong way, but then again I have never claimed to understand wrestlers.
James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day will return for a 35th anniversary theatrical release beginning May 22, available in all four theatrical formats: original 35mm and 70mm prints, and 4K DCP and 3-D DCP digital restorations.
Unclear why the makers of ‘Michael’ haven’t disclosed yet that it takes place on Earth-M, the parallel universe where there were never any allegations and Janet was never born. In the sequel, he will meet our universe’s Michael.
Imagine not comping Make-a-Wish. And I hope to God they didn't use Make-a-Wish funds to do so and it was just individuals on their own. But when he says Make-a-wish bought the tickets themselves, man, shocking.
@HeyHeyItsConrad I'll always be grateful for you brining Tony back into the biz, and giving JR a spotlight. But with Bruce and Eric, you know exactly what you're doing. You've pierced the veil of plausible deniability today.
@HeyHeyItsConrad "His blind spot is not recognizing that his opinion gets repeated and shared as fact to a large portion of the community. It’s a big responsibility."
I've been a fan and follower since the beginning, but I've gotta tap out after this.
MGM/Amazon: "Hey, you know all that money lying on the table? What if we, you know, picked it up and put it in our pockets instead of leaving it there?"
@JCup2013 The greatest long-term storyline in wrestling is Hunter thinking he's finally in charge, only for a succession of out-of-touch old execs to always put him in his place.
Run the math on what this actually pays out.
Median Google employee made $331,894 in 2024. The death benefit is 50% of base salary, capped at $12,500/month. On top of that, the spouse gets a lump sum life insurance payout of 3x annual base salary, up to $2.5 million. All unvested stock vests immediately. Each kid gets $1,000/month until 19, or 23 if they're a full-time student.
For a senior engineer at L5 making $185K base with $350K in unvested RSUs: the spouse gets $92,500/year for a decade ($925,000), a $555,000 life insurance payout, $350K in stock, and $1,000/month per kid. Family of two children, that's a $1.85M+ package before you count vested stock they already own.
The part people miss: there's no tenure requirement. A Google engineer who dies on day 31 of employment triggers the same benefit as a 15-year veteran. That's the real signal. Google isn't pricing this as a reward for loyalty. They're pricing it as a cost of recruitment. In a market where a senior engineer is worth $2M+ in annual revenue contribution, spending $1.8M over a decade to be the company that takes care of families is a rounding error on their $350B annual revenue.
The policy was designed by Laszlo Bock in 2012 when Google had 34,000 employees. They now have 180,000+. They never revoked it.
@JCup2013 I agree, and yet I also feel like three elder WWE canucks taking up screentime is a step backwards for AEW. I remember when Dixie Carter met with Heyman, and he told her when it comes to legends, "Pick One". Tony needs to take the same approach.
@JCup2013 Ironically, just last night somebody posted the clip of Triple H burying Jericho, Edge, and RVD on RAW for no reason whatsoever during the Authority/Randy Orton vs Danielson feud.
