well, after-Blast rain in STALKER feels May-esque ('cept for a blinding flash of psyonic energy covering much of the northern sky) 
but I'm also a sucker for pouring rain, like, being under one, so maybe it's just me who's weirdo

anyway, it's enough of STALKER for today, and maybe even entire week. I went pretty far into second plotline during Saturday, died, and it seems that this effort took most of my capacity to actually play the game. so I'll get back to reading Chernyshevsky

Coffee table knight, I barely began reading, to be honest. I'm finishing his Capital and Labor essay. I have a second volume of his works on my hands, borrowed it from my friends, and by the contents it seems that there's a little bit of everything that he was interested in: economics, philosophy, history, sociology. Y'know, all the good stuff.

Right now I'm enjoying Capital and Labor, first of all from the style perspective. Chernyshevsky possesses a sublimely refined writing style, something that before him I have seen only in Pisarev's writing. On the merits of actual economics and sociology, he's on point in leaving no stone unturned on libertarian economists and pro-slavery advocates of ol' Imperial Russia. I cannot tell, though, whether his certain passages coming from a bit of naivete, or they're demanded by the restraints of imperial censorship (the text is from 1859, after all), but I do see why Chernyshevsky is considered a kind of "Russian Marx"

How did you come from dick jokes to literature analysis so fast? 

Because high-brow stuff and brainrot exist in the same brains
Call that dick-Dickens monism

I love it! I’m about to burst into tears of delight. I'm serious.

I think humanitarians are the mindset. For example, I’m a humanitarian because I have no programming ability... None at all. I’m not good with formulas, but good with concepts, good with emotions and human relationships...

Люди, во имя Вселенной, помогите, пожалуйста. Как написать "Он переводил взгляд с N на X и обратно" по-английски и по-человечески?
N и X - это не "с одного на другого", а конкретные предметы или люди, это важная деталь, т.к. как прописать "с одного на другого" я понял.

Faded Star, you’re my savior! Thank you so much! I’ve been fighting for 20 minutes.

Раза 2-3.

yeah, "between N and X" is also a good way to translate that.

Good morning, my fellow almost human beings *yawn*

Relax, we are no Flesh Tearers and we can handle some jokes... Why do you think I wear laurel wreath? Just in case we need a leaf for the soup. 

42, sure! Take your time, I'll be there anyway

Ah, a primarch adorned with the shine of his wit and wisdom, what a sight to behold!

I also found what I needed in a Harry Potter book. Quite by accident, after I started adjusting your options to my text. Ahahahaha.
