  • You get that from anywhere with a chamber that echos well enough. There's the folks who don't have kids or want them, and then there's the anti-natalists who call the people who have children breeders and their kids crotchspawn. There's the Christians and the Religious Right. Jews and Zionists. List goes on.

  • I cast gun, prepare to meet god

  • Sadako can kill people as well. Pac's ghosts kill him too.

  • moot point iirc, considering the economic strategy in China is that the gov pays the tariffs.

  • Could be either

    1. She got her bag and now she can let her freak flag fly.
    2. Rich people boredom turning her weird. She wasn't an outspoken transphobe when she was on welfare writing the rough draft of HP1 after all. Kinda ties to one but also notably different.
  • Freddy feels more ghosty or at least vengeful spirity (which really is just deluxe ghost imo) to me considering he was a dude who died and lacks physical form most of the time.

    Sadako is described as having the appearance of a Yurei, which is analguous to a ghost in western culture. If your only condition for Pac chomping is "can be reasonably described as a ghost" then she's deffo there.

    It and Ring Wraiths are admittedly further down the occult scale but when I posted I figured heck, lets see what arguments folks got for 'em.

  • We need to get rich people back to the good old days where they'd build parks and libraries or have pet artists they'd pay to run wild.

  • Lolicon fans in absolute shambles.

  • And nobody would get your references

    You can still get that, just follow obscures enough hobbies and reference memes from it.

  • Do you mean Samara? Or is this a different The Ring.

    We can both be right on this one.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Yamamura

    Sadako Yamamura (山村 貞子, Yamamura Sadako), reimagined as Park Eun-seo (Korean: 박은서) and Samara Morgan for their respective adaptations, is the main antagonist of Koji Suzuki's Ring novel series and the film franchise of the same name.

  • but this is still largely an excursion using older equipment and avoiding mass mobilization

    I'm more inclined to think that that Russia is a paper tiger and the mass corruption in the country has fucked up any modern equipment they have to the point of unusability.

  • Even if they could, the only effect is to weaken the ghosts, so they have no reason to.

    But, this establishes that the pellets have to be acted upon by an outside force to affect the ghosts. It might also be reasonable to assume that this action may be exclusive to the Pac family.

    If the pellet changed Pacman, it makes no sense that he could eat one ghost and not another. And yet, when a ghost respawns, Pacman is unable to eat that one, even as he manages to eat the others.

    It makes sense if the usage of the power pellet allows Pac-Man to affect the ghosts material form temporarily.

    I like to imagine a situation where Pac-Man set off a paint bomb in a room covering everyones clothes with blue paint that makes those clothes edible. He eats a dudes now blue shirt, dude freaks out, goes home, changes his shirt and comes back. Everyone else still has edible shirts but not dude. Maybe someone else goes to the bathroom and washes off the paint on their shirt after a bit under the faucet. Their shirt is also no longer edible.

    Whether those ghosts react to a power pellet? Insufficient data for meaningful answer.

    Good thing you're not submitting this to a journal for peer review then. ;)

  • The natural conclusion is that the pellets don't change pacman, but change the ghosts.

    The power pellets only affect ghosts after said pellets are eaten by Pac-Man, as the ghosts can float over pellets without issue. Thus I think its a safe assumption that making the ghosts material form edible one time, temporarily is a result of Pac-Man's magnified power rather then the pellet itself.

    As such, unless the power pellets affect ALL ghosts the same way they affect the pacman ghosts...

    Hence the question.

  • Centrists tend to advocate a middle view, hard to have a middle view for eradicating trans people, for one obvious example.

  • claimed the Tulsa Race Massacre had nothing to do with race

    Did he also claim it wasn't a massacre or in Tulsa?

  • Reagan started the descent. Gingrich finished the race to the bottom with stuff like the Contract with America, holding speeches in an empty house chamber, and directing R's to never interact with Dem's at all and always oppose anything they do even if it'd benefit R's. Trump is just the natural consequence of that mindset.

  • I can relate with the second one. No matter what taco bell I order at asking for extra anything is like pressing the ‘close doors’ button on an elevator in the US, it’s pointless.

    From a recent trip. They weren't even extra ones I ordered, they were just supposed to come with the order. IDK if they're taken out of the employee's paychecks or what because damn.

  • Maybe Hulkster shouldn't be mentioning race considering racial stuff pretty much made him persona non grata in pro wrestling for years.

  • China supports in country stuff, most countries do really, so long as quality is comparable, and its been slowly but steadily getting there. Saw an article posted on lemmy somewhere earlier today how a locally made movie is topping their box office while Deadpool and Wolverine isn't even top 10.
