> You say "openly MAGA" as if it were a crime or something to be ashamed of Can you explain why it's not something to be ashamed of?

I'm not american but I see technically nothing wrong with MAGA for me. it doesn't mean you must be transphobe or homophobe etc. but what people do under MAGA is another thing. sometimes it feels like for them it means "run america into the ground" or "get rid of all the best about america". GRABA if you like

You mean things done under MAGA led by a president who said on national TV that Haitians are eating pets and led the “birther” conspiracy ?

In the 80s-90s his positions would have aligned fine with the center left.

Some of them, perhaps. I don't think the center left would ever have been into the birther conspiracy.

There were conspiracy theories in the 80s and 90s too.

There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all. Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.” Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen.

The Ruby gem "Faker" is used for generating fake data for testing, like legit-looking names, emails, phone numbers, lorum ipsum text, etc. About 10 years ago I was working on a messaging app, and wanted some real messages to see in the UI while I was developing it. One of the best engineering decisions I've made in my career was to pick the Chuck Norris Facts generator for the messages, so every time I re-seeded my local db or looked at a review app on staging, I was greeted by two fake people sending a half-dozen Chuck Norris facts to each other.

Half the country didn't vote for Trump. Not quite 2/3rds of the voting eligible people in the country voted to begin with, and not even half of those people voted for Trump. Less than 1/3rd of eligible voters voted for Trump. Not all people that voted for Trump consider themselves Republicans, much less MAGA, when MAGA is only 50-60% of Republicans. So in reality less than 1/6th of the US voting-eligible population i…

I remember trade chat (/2) in wow on the Medivh server would often turn into Chuck Norris jokes. There were always about how bad ass Chuck was. How tough and impossibly manly. One of my favorites. Chuck Norris jumped into a lake. Chuck Norris didn't get wet. The lake got Chucked.

Trade chat (like /b/) was never great, but one of the first WoW addons I developed was designed to filter out garbage like this, and make idling with your guildies in Ironforge tolerable.

It's funny for a while, in measured amounts, and then it becomes tiresome.

He was defeated by Mr Rogers in a blood-stained sweater. Understandable they're keeping that quiet. (Ok, ok, technically it was Gandalf the Gray and White, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight)

And Benito Musollini, and the Blue Meanie. And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie

And Robocop, Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth Vader. Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger.

Chuck Norris made a Chuck Norris joke in one of the Expendable movies, and for that I'm willing to forgive all his indiscretions.

That is hands down one of my ATF scenes in any movie. Expendables 2 was IMO just about the most "fun" movie I've ever seen as well. It wasn't great cinema, or a specific classic.. but it was fun. I have similar feelings about Gremlins 2 as well. We need more fun movies, but too many people seem to have not been issued a sense of humor these days.

X1 is also great imo. Just the perfect blend of action, self awareness and cheese.
