Both times translator failed. For Ru version - most of the words have exact english versions
ps - seems to me it is AI fault
Nope, they've always sucked that bad :LOL:

I didnt even get fornicate lol...if you consider that a swear though we just consider it a term with the same meaning as to fuck.

Maybe it has more to do with a certain russians habit of running around SCREAMING IN BOLD OVERSIZED CAPS rather than a lack of terminology :ROFLMAO:

living your (or its) best life is more conmon today
Yes, but how do you quantify best? High life simply means high, as in high society. Stupid whatever young people generation is these days. I blame them. Also influencers. Slang used to be slow and localized. Now it's global, and the stupidity sticks longer.
and being high on life.
I think this is more about not taking drugs, and choosing life. Like Trainspotting's choosing not to choose life, and instead choose heroin, which is kind of a poor choice? Can't we not choose slogans, but still not let heroin take over our lives?
How the hell do we even get into these stupid conversations :LOL:
Probably because I actually like them.

I have no idea what the Russian phrase even is, but I know translating from other languages, common phrases and idioms make no sense at all if you try to translate them. Also, what did Pax mean by relax? Take a break? Recreation? Having spent a good deal of time traveling myself, it is usually not that relaxing, and taking a holiday to recover from your holiday is often needed.

This is from Sex and the City. This is what I imagine relaxing, while living the high life, would be. Oddly cut one piece swimsuits. Jewelry. High heels. Sunglasses. Cocktails. The one of the right shows this more than the others.

I kinda imagined more wide brimmed hats, but I guess they need to see their faces for the show?

I dunno. Never tried to put on a female swimsuit and spend time on a beach. 🤷‍♂️

In that context it simply means enjoyable life or a life most in their position would enjoy.

yep lol
I blame them.
As does anyone over 35 :LOL:

You have this backwards...now it changes faster and sticks for less time. They can't even get their acronyms straight...every week it means something else.

"laser" (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation)

"lasers"

Leet Antisocial Schoolboys Stimulated Endorphins for Rereating Slang :ROFLMAO:

And in the context of high life, theres still always someone living a higher life with more money...so it would also be questionable.
While I don't doubt some people compete in the high life, it's not highest life. Just high life. I think most people would agree that looking stylish, touring Italy, and taking Instagram pics, would qualify as the high life.

Meanwhile, the phrase is best life. What if they're only living their second or third best life? Their best life would no longer be their best life, just some mediocre imitation of their actual best life.

Nope...also don't agree those people looked stylish at all in your sex in the city pic, actually I thought the one on the right was a man at first doing something like borat (really) :LOL:

Touring italy could be fun...got no interest in instagrammy lol.

In todays misery, enjoying anything is your best life...even if only for ten minutes.

Maybe they should have said living your good life or living your better life, but now we get back to my term for lasers :LOL:

I was talking about Pax's pics. Some of the girls in my pic look like peasants. They're also much older.

That's some low standards for best life.

From my interpretation of its use, it's more about doing things that you want to do, without regard for consequences. I've also seen it said that "experiences" are being favored over things. These people are also going into debt over it.

My experience of "experiences" is being dragged into, and forced to pay for, things I didn't even like doing. I did them because other people wanted to. I certainly could have refused, but I was trying to be more sociable at the time. Waste of time.

My best life does not include the high life. I'd have a lot more fun getting high for free, than some stuffy overpriced formal restaurant, where I don't even like the food.

I dont even remember pax's pics 4 pages later :LOL:

The one on the right looks like a yeti from the ice age :ROFLMAO: maybe she's part of that direwolf reincarnation program.

I guess its better than them bringing back a twenty five foot tall mammoth lmao.

If people arnt going into debt over the shit they're pulling, i'd like to know why i'm the only poor person left.

I dont do anything I dont enjoy doing...even if others are paying for it. Thats just me.

I dont enjoy or even want to be near people getting high anymore than I would enjoy fancy fish eggs...i'll take a nice cozy bed in a cave anyday...with good live music and my computer.
