# A word rarely used in English before Russia became a market economy.
But it was used in George Orwell's 1984, which, if you haven't read it already, I strongly reccomend you read.

# I admit now that Orwell is great
this opinion has changed from my opinion of a few years ago, when I used to think Orwell wasn't great. My opinion changed because I read a bunch of Orwell. He isn't completely right about everything there is, but I can forgive him for that because I'm so wonderfully magnanimous.

It fucking crippled me for the rest of my life. Nothing can be easy ever again.

# Also:
I remember a description I read of Vic and Bob's personas... Vic is like an enormous shallow lake, and Bob is like a small but incredibly deep well.
I don't know what it means but it's true.
