    Good. When I watched this video, my opinion of him changed from “that funny action man” to “disgusting piece of shit”.

      Either pitiful delusions or deliberate scaremongering (or both). Rest in dirt, motherfucker.

      Yeah, the memes were funny, and he made some fun action movies, but the real man was not worthy of veneration. Dying doesn’t change his legacy, it cements it. There’s no more time for him to become a better person than he was.

      Damn, "the spectre of Socialism"TM👻 also lived in this guy’s head rent-free. That’s too bad.

      Clint Eastwood also had the ramble with a chair.

      Woof, he literally died while witnessing his videos concerns actually coming true. How ironic.

    There surely is a Chuck Norris joke in here somewhere…

    Maybe having lived all of and so getting tired of life, he decided to go punch the grim reaper in the face?

      He turned into a MAGA piece of shit. He is (was) a joke.

        Those jokes were never about “him” to begin with - it was always a character. Looking forward, they will become forgotten now, the legacy that he earned for himself. But looking back, I still enjoy the humor that they provided at the time.:-)

    He offed himself. That’s the only reason famous people go to Hawaii unless they are there to film something.

        pretty sure they’re just speculating based on the fact Hawaii is one of the few places medically assisted suicide is codified into law.

          You’ve gotta be a resident though. So far as I’m aware there aren’t any “destination suicide” states.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
