Yes, because they were Bulgarian.

Obligatory Šaškė

Or he could pay off a pornstar again.

I’ve heard of old men married to much younger women dying from sex taxing their hearts too much, so that is more likely than you think.

In most of Europe this isn’t leftist policy, it’s common sense centrist policy.

I hope that Mazda isn’t a diesel one.

The show I remember being praised for being the opposite was Netflix’s Daredevil. The fighting sequences were well done and long lasting because people kept getting up instead of just lying there after taking a couple of kicks.

His wife already looks like a Barbie doll.

She’s a veteran politician with her own cult of personality, she will be fine. She’s not planning to be the prime minister though.

This election had some weird surprises, like the young and progressive Laisvės Partija getting zero votes, but it could have gone so much worse.

No, I wasn’t. It took me 2 months to switch jobs. With unused vacation money, I got about 1 month’s worth of my regular salary. The people who stayed didn’t get their salaries for 3 months due to cash flow issues.

You’re welcome.

If you want to read more about the history of Lithuania and surrounding countries and their nation formation, a great start would be Timothy Snyder’s book “The Reconstruction of Nations”, he’s the most popular historian of the region who is not from the region.

I mean, yes and no.

You are assuming that Lithuanian language became formalised when Lithuania was united under one government. Instead, most of language formalisation happened between 1880s and 1920s, when Lithuanian speaking population was actually divided between Prussian and Tzarist Russian empires. While most of the people lived in Tzarist Russia, writing in Lithuanian in Latin script was forbidden there.

Instead, books in Latin script were printed in Prussia and distributed in Russia illegally. A handful of people like J. Basanavičius and V. Kudirka ended up in charge of printing most of those books and it made it easy to set language standards. Achieving such a monopoly with a bigger language would be much more difficult.

That is also why formal Lithuanian is based on one ethnic dialect that was spoken in Prussia.

Už Laisvės Partiją :/

That happened hundreds of years after Hus.

If there’s a 1 minute sex scene in a 90 minute movie, you’re guaranteed to have your parents walk in during that one sex scene.

Don’t kill the rich. Exile them to an island and watch them eat each other instead of eating the world.

Fun fact: The Czech adopted š, č and ž to look less German. The Lithuanians adopted it to look less Polish.

Lithuanian: Palaikyk mano alų.

Just come up with new letters, Lithuanian has 9 (ą, ę, ė, į, ų, ū, č, š, ž) extra letters. If a small language can do it, so can English.
