applebees also has a brand of frozen apps. but yes TGI Fridays also sucks.

“the fact that the frozen grocery aisle versions of their apps are just straight up the ones used at the restaurant”

Applebees is trash. the fact that the frozen grocery aisle versions of their apps are just straight up the ones used at the restaurant (received in a bulk frozen bag instead of the tiny boxes of course) and most entrees are equally frozen really amazes me that they haven’t gone under yet. 

Yeah I’m also not gonna try to claim that a generation raised on Depression era cooking had great taste either.  I’ve only recently convinced my almost 70 year old mother that garlic is actually good.

But their food is so terrible, and their cocktails are diabetes bombs.

Do not live in a house owned by your employer. Full stop.

Remember the time this guy literally cured some blind people

This dude has such bad vibes. He seems to be as vacuous and sinister as your Logan Paul-type, but wraps it up in a sort of midwestern ‘aw shucks’ wholesomeness . Like a pit viper wearing a hand-knit sweater.

Anyway, I’ve never heard any stories of him doing genuinely bad shit, I don’t think he’s going to be cancelled…

Bro, you can stop fluffing the guy. He’s not gonna buy you a house.

He didn’t “cure” blind people

Because company towns were such a great idea in the past.

“Earned” is a strong word to use here. Nobody gets $54 million by earning it. They get it by exploiting the people who worked for it.

creepy as hell

Employer provides incredible benefits package, using money earned from doing good deeds. Kotaku: “Isn’t that terrible?”

The $250m is *JUST* the salary. The majority of CEO earnings do *NOT* come from their salaries. It comes from stocks and compensations. So if he’s being paid $250m in salary, he’s being paid *AT LEAST* that much in stocks and compensations. So it’s not $250m vs $430m. It’s $430m vs $500m at minimum.

David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, gets paid an annual salary of $250,000,000 per year and additional stocks and compensations on top of that. The math is real. It checks out.

Yes, in fact, they do. They make that much despite making *NO* contribution to what the studio produces.

When a single upper-level executive from nearly every studio gets paid more per year than the total cost of what the WGA is asking for to better support all of its thousands of wildly underpaid writers (yes, seriously), the people who are literally the foundation of everything these studios produce, and the WGA’s…

That’s exactly what Hollywood is saying.

You’re right, it’s much worse. They decided well before ChatGPT was a thing to not pay writers well.
