The first one, the character is avoiding going to his best friend’s house because he doesn’t want to see his wife who’s mutually in love with him. The second, Chernyshevsky randomly spends a super long amount of time talking about a type of person that he really likes which will have no bearing on the story.
Under communism, your best friends will be able to legally summon you to appear at their house with a subpoena whenever they want to chill with you
That will also give you a day off, of course.
“Day off?” There’s no days on. The only mandatory place you’ll be required is to your friend’s house if they file a request.
