Thanks for the anecdote. I love reading this kind of context-giving stories on how different our expectations on consumer-grade electronics were.

No, it's because there's no sex in the USSR.

Do gas stations double as convenience stores in USA? I ask as an european because here, snacks at gas stations usually carry a hefty markup in price and usually we go to minimarkets.

One of my friends read this very same greentext back then when it was new and he told it to our friend group like it happened to him. Everyone laughed their asses off and had him as a person that knew how to laugh at themselves. Years later, while doomscrolling, I ended up watching a Instagram reel of a standup routine with this very same joke. We were devastated when I broke the news that our humble friend spun a web of lies.

Seems like some sort of understated pun with IEDs and DUIs. Just guessing.

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
