Finland is not part of Eastern Europe

― Frederik B, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 20:15 (six years ago)

See parenthesis.

I mean, you're technically correct, but these categories are quite porous in my book. And geographically, it's mostly East of Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, etc.

― pomenitul, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 20:33 (six years ago)

Sure, but so is Greece. It's Northern Europe / Scandinavia, and it was a part of Sweden for far longer than it was a part of Russia. I mean, I'd ask my Finnish friend if she feels more connected to Sweden or Russia, but it would feel kinda silly, since we speak Swedish with each other.,,

― Frederik B, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 20:45 (six years ago)

what if you asked her in russian

― rob, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 20:49 (six years ago)

Before long, it shall again become a part of Sweden, god willing. The days of Finnish sovereignty are numbered, of this I promise you.

Greece is also arguably part of Eastern Europe. See: Byzantium, Orthodox Christianity, etc.

Finland is undoubtedly not Eastern European if we go by the usual taxonomy. But these things are hardly set in stone (see also: is Mexico part of North or Central America? is the Czech Republic Central or Eastern European? etc.).

On a completely unrelated note, the z isn't silent. It would have made for a solid pun otherwise.

My 11-yo niece told me how bad diet soda is for me, and I replied "OK, coffee and alcohol it is."

Not sure if you've heard but ironic Gervaisian racism went out about 6 years, now it's just racism.
