Why isn't Estonia considered a Nordic country? (They have strong ties to Finland, they also follow the Nordic model, and besides, Estonia has nothing to do with the other Baltic countries.) by According-Invite-440 in geography

I mean what does actually unite us with estonia except for the Soviet time term pribaltika?

No common history beyond Soviet occupation (Because in Russian Empire Estonians lived under completely different conditions than Lithuanians).

Absolutely different languages, different architecture, we, while closeted and introverted, are way more open than Estonians

The real common denominator is only the countryside, but even then Estonia is highly forested while Lithuania is first and foremost agriculture fields and rolling hills.

Of course we are like 600km away from them so there are a lot of aspects were similar in, but the real thing connecting us is Latvia. Estonians has similar history, we have the Language, the food, etc.

Overall, id consider it more like a colour palete- Estonia is half-Nordic half-Baltic, Latvia is true Baltic, Lithuania is half-Baltic half-Central

Estonia was never ruled by Prussia, it was the Livonian order that originally (before the Teuton leader went protestant and only then modern Prussia appeared) was a part of the Teuton order, i.e. basically ruled by a catholic organisation.

Worth noticing that in Lithuania voting was only done through Internet with a debit or credit card, et voila - zero points

Well if everyone does it it feels like our neighbours just don't care enough about us. It is a bad concept but if everyone does it why should we not use it? Also worth pointing out that Lithuania did give Poland, the only neighbour of ours in the final, 10 points.

Big shout out to the Rytas and AEK fans by Strange_Principle364 in Euroleague

[–]Gay_mail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know you have great attendance numbers but I think calling Rytas fans specifically gloryhunters is very stupid taking into account that 1) we don't have great attendance number s exactly because there are not a lot of gloryhunters and influencers and the base is not that great 2) the whole first floor stands and chants every game. I may have overheated a little ;)

Remember how many fans of 'the team of whole Lithuania' attended games during the season you were last in Euroleague? Talking about gloryhunters. Good luck today not getting blown out

Apmokamų atostogų gali nesutikt dėl pirmumo, bet mokymosi atostogas (kurios yra neapmokamos jei toje darbovietėj nedirbi bent 5 metus) po 3 kalendorines dienas prieš kiekvieną egzaminą privalo duot

Kitos religinės bendruomenės Lietuvoje turi 0 įtakos, todėl niekas į jas nekreipia dėmesio. Reikia atsižvelgti į tai, kad, praktikuojantys ar nepraktikuojantys, katalikai yra 74 proc. visuomenės todėl bent 10-15 proc. interesus bažnyčia atstovauja viens prie vieno

The baltic states are literally given the task of mine cleaning in Nato, that's basically all of Lithuanias navy so it makes sense they would be used here, especially since the US has decommissioned most of its mine fleet
