Therefore, you cannot blame (nor re-educate) the system, nor its users, nor a „culture“(?) for not following some non-existing rules you imagine for such cases. 🤷 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MyTwoCents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyTwoCents</span></a></p>

SantiAlone<p>Un par de cosas voy a decir sobre lo de los vídeojuegos a 90€.</p><p>Una, que lo ha anunciado Nintendo, pero podria haber sido cualquiera (personalmente, creía que los primeros que iban a atreverse eran Rockstar con GTA6). Tal y como está el mercado...</p><p>Y otra... Menos quejarse a voces de los 90€ y más NO COMPRAR los juegos a ese precio abusivo. Si no venden el producto, puede que se vean forzados a bajar precios.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/videojuegos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videojuegos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nintendo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/myTwoCents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>myTwoCents</span></a></p>

ˈdälfən™🐬 💥 🌊<p>Okay, so all these tax cuts and the full expensing of manufacturing, etc. will cost the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> a lot of money.

Despite its remarkable resilience against Russian invasion, Ukraine is not a strong country. There’s also Trump’s personal vendetta against Ze, but I think it’s Trump’s notion of “raw power” that guides him here. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MyTwoCents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyTwoCents</span></a></p>
