En el rastro de #Madrid existe una zona donde se venden y compran #Cromos de fútbol y #Pokemon
He cruzado por allí y era evidente quienes están allí por Pokemon y quienes por el fútbol. Físicamente se nota quienes son más de Pokemon y quienes más fifes.
¿Tienen algo en común? Si
No obstante cada cual se gasta su dinero en lo que quiere. Yo por ejemplo en comics hoy.
No te creas mejor q esa gente q gastan cientos de euros en dibujos impresos en un cartón
Otros pasean muñecos en semana santa
sí, pero cuando salieron era muy pequeño. Los fistros eran literalmente los bocabits pero con la bolsa cambiada.
Justo pilló el cambio al euro, pero + o - los tazos los vendía entre 0,50 y 1,5 € los normales. Los de primera generación se vendían a bastante más 5, 10 o 15€ en base a su estado y si estaban aún en el sobre. El más caro era Ash, el entrenador de Pikachu. Los tazos eran más rentables porque el 90% de la gente los tiraba. Yo iba por los kioskos recogiendo.

Alex Philips, a “presenter on Talk and That’s What She Said” from London, England wrote what I perceive a perfect case study in British class society self-inflicted drama:
I miss normal bread. Fluffy, bland, unobtrusive, absorbent, thinly sliced bread, that soaks up butter and efficiently sandwiches a filling without messing up the flavour.It’s being made extinct by bloody holey sourdough, which is a grey, chewy, vacuous, fusty tasting, horrible woke alternative that doesn’t soak up butter, can’t be sliced thinly, doesn’t toast properly, tangs like it’s gone damp and foetid, makes a godawful sandwich and is like noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll.
The cognitive mistake of Ms Philips is that her rant only works within a very narrowly defined framework of British class system, where everything - cars, clothes, language, hobbies and yes, food - serves primary as a class signalling system, and only then, possibly some actual purpose.
Of course, bread is part of it. That “fluffy, bland” cotton thing that shocked me when I first arrived to UK is of course still available everywhere, in the first place in every corner grocery or supermarket.
But here’s the thing - people aspiring to higher class allegiance don’t buy at “corner grocery” - they buy at posh shops like Waitrose, which set trends. As an average high class applicant you’re slave of these trends - and indeed a few years ago shops like Waitrose started promoting “artisan” breads.
Which in reality are pretty much the same fluffy, bland cotton thing, sliced and packed in a plastic bag, just with some brown colouring and seeds added and priced at 6-8 GBP “because health has no price”.
Pretty much in the same way posh shops have recently “discovered”… kefir, a simple fermented milk that had been sold everywhere in Eastern Europe probably for the last 1000 years (and in Polish shops in UK for the last 20). Kefir is, of course, also sold as “artisan” product with added layer of marketing bullshit centered on “longevity secrets from Caucasus” etc.
So while I may be having a bit of fun of the first-world problems of having to choose from a million of “artisan” food brands the one that is currently “the poshest of posh” among your “posher than you” friends, I have no doubt Ms Philips is really facing a dilemma and frustration.
She can’t just go to a regular corner grocery and buy the “fluffy, bland” thing that she dreams of, just like proles do, because she’s not one. She can’t go to a Polish shop and buy a regular non-artisan bready bread, like immigrants do, because she’s not one. Therefore, Philips can only buy what her today’s Instagram & posh friends tell her is acceptable, and then complain about “woke” and all the “limits on freedom”, ignoring the fact these are entirely self-inflicted.

Good points.
If she can concoct phrases like "noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll", I will not worry about her.

The image is a panoramic view of a mountainous landscape under a clear blue sky with a few scattered clouds. In the foreground, there is a dirt path bordered by a wooden fence on the left side, leading towards the center of the image. The path is surrounded by green vegetation, including trees and shrubs. The middle ground features a vast valley with rolling hills and patches of greenery, suggesting a rural or natural setting. In the background, the landscape extends into a series of distant hills and mountains, creating a sense of depth. The sky is bright and clear, with sunlight casting shadows on the landscape, enhancing the natural beauty of the scene.

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige U-Bahn-Station mit einem eleganten Bogen-Dach und hängenden Kronleuchtern, die warmes Licht ausstrahlen. Die Station ist mit einem Steinsockel und einer Skulptur versehen, die einen Schildkrötenkopf zeigt. Auf der linken Seite ist ein Schild mit der Aufschrift "Heidelberger Platz" zu sehen. Der Bahnsteig ist mit dunklen Fliesen ausgelegt und hat eine gelbe Sicherheitslinie. Im Hintergrund führt der Bahnsteig in eine dunkle Tunnelöffnung. Die Architektur und die Beleuchtung verleihen der Station eine historische und elegante Atmosphäre.
