@alda came here to favourite everyone who says this

@alda and a meme that we didn’t actually relate to

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@alda I lived in Utah during the Prop 8 thing. And he was in Utah alot fundraising for the Mormon church for the fight in California. I'm gay, and Salt Lake City is actually a very gay friendly city believe it or not. It's a fun place. But the vitriol he would say about SLC, the mayor, and the gays in SLC, because every last queer in the valley was protesting, were just outrageous. Good riddance. I'm sure there is a party at The Trapp tonight. He is NOT liked in SLC at all.

@alda @populistensohn You ever wonder why there are soooo many Chuck Norris jokes and absolutely no Bruce Lee jokes?

It’s because Bruce Lee was no joke.

[accordingtowouter@mastodon.world]

@alda I didn’t know that. Time and again, you find out that celebrities are wrong.

@AccordingtoWouter @alda I'm surprised people didn't already know about him. He has been a hateful, horrible person for a very very long time.

I do sort of wish that it wasn't like 99% of celebrities that people like who ultimately turn out to be absolute crap though. What ever happened to celebrities at least *pretending* to be good even if they weren't? These days they're just completely open and proud to be horrible.

@alda oh thanks, I hadn’t known the past tense applied to him yet. Good riddance.

@alda so it turned out, Chuck Norris was the Joke...

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@alda and quite a few other famous people. Perhaps we should stop making people famous.

[alda@topspicy.social]

@Netraven You are very intelligent.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@alda I'll take it.

[accordingtowouter@mastodon.world]

@nazokiyoubinbou @alda To be honest, I had to look him up (after seeing this thread) to find out who Chuck Norris was. Then I recognised his face. I must have seen him in a film or something. Other than that, he didn’t ring a bell.

[galbinuscaeli@spacey.space]

@alda And apparently alive yesterday. Who knew?

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@AccordingtoWouter @alda He was before my time — perhaps before the time of many here — but I'm surprised you hadn't run into him. Well, he was largely an American star in crappy beat-em-up shows and such, so you may have had less chance to run into him as directly. There are... a lot of Internet memes though. I'm surprised you haven't run into those. Or perhaps you have and just forgot? I guess it has been a while on most of them.

[alda@topspicy.social]

@nazokiyoubinbou @AccordingtoWouter If Wouter here is able to look him up, then let's leave it at that.

[accordingtowouter@mastodon.world]

@nazokiyoubinbou @alda Don’t laugh, but internet memes? Where on earth would I come across them?

That sort of film isn’t really my cup of tea. That’s probably why it didn’t look familiar to me.

[burnoutqueen@todon.nl]

@alda i only know about him from boomer jokes
