Yeah I never experienced how absolute the USSR must've seemd
Yeah
I've heard that it felt like a titan that would never fade and then
poof, fucking gone m8
That glorious national anthem lives in in memes, though. So we have that.
So we have that.
much of their vaunted strength was lies and exaggerations.
It lives in the new national anthem as well tbh
I remember I was home sick from school when Reagan was shot. That freaked me out since I was home alone and at 11 years old lacked a frame of reference.
I remember a story about some soviet who came to america and was convinced that a grocery store he visited was a setup by the government
because he couldn't fathom so much food available.
That's true
It was a common reaction
That's brutal
I was on vacation when the Challenger exploded. My parents and I cried along with Peter Jennings.
oof.
hey 10th
have you seen the clouds that the spacex rockets create?
Yeah
I've seen pics
that's the story I was thinking of @Atkins
they're super cool
"we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us"
You know something's wrong with the system of government when one of the heads of your central administrative unit is shocked to see prosperity
Unfortunately, that's what happens when people lack access to alternatives to look at and compare themselves to
Which says a lot about the future of current day political debate that uses echo chambers as its cornerstone in a lot of countries

@King Canuck why is it, that every time spacex launches a rocket in Cali at night, they are always calling it a UFO? Like are people in Cali that stupid? Even the redknecks in Florida are like "UFO? It's been on the schedule for months and it came from the ground not the sky you morons"
Because it looks spooky
I heard a story once about LA people reporting "strange lights in the sky" during a blackout.
They were talking about fucking stars.
might be urban legend though.
I would not be surprised if City slickers didn't know what stars looked like.
Lights are never really off in a city and light pollution sucks
It's a shame, you can see the milkway when there is no light pollution
"You thought I was *MAD*!"
