Why are Russian and a few German translations considered classics in english? There are some traditions, like the french, that just dont seem to enter much in the english lexicon of classic novels. But a lot of dostoyevsky for instance is well know in english. why is this? Like, as a big name I can only think of Jules Vern and his speculative fiction, though that is considered less "serious" literature.

Is this a product of a certain historical phases of xenophilia that just didnt extend to some regions, or were French writers for instance just not as impactful on the international stage, or is it a translation issue? If it is a translation issue, why did the likes of dostoyevsky get so popular in the Anglosphere?

Actually french literature is a large part of what is considered the western classics. You just don't hear as much about it on retardo sites like 4chan where the french are considered effeminate gay frogs, while russians are based and trad.

Don't look into rugg(spacetoavoidwordfilter)arell. One of the oldest BBC/cuckold spam discords on 4chan was the work of a black /v/edditor with a 2" dick, not even memeing.

Archive as much shit as you can right now. It means multiple game engines won't have decades of technical support. It could affect tens of thousands of video game projects when it all becomes lost work.

All because of corporate greed and the new owners.

The Internet is a rotting corpse. 4chan's time will come, too, some day, slain at the altar of social media centralization and the utter enshittening of search engines with AI and SEO

But what a good time we had, and will have, I hope, until then. Tears in rain

If you were in his position, what would you do?

It's shameful to admit but I'm a kissless virgin in my mid 30s, I've never asked a girl out for this specific reason. I know normal guys talk about how many rejections you get and you just have to keep trying, but I'm so socially avoidant that the fear of failing and humiliation prevents me from doing anything. As you could gather from being in my mid 30s still posting on 4chan, and being a kissless virgin at that, I've always been a weird and kind of outcast guy. I'm not the kind of guy women want to marry, date, or be seen with. So I could just image the recoiling in disgust any woman (or girl back when I was younger) would do if I asked them out.
