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.

That happened hundreds of years after Hus.
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.
Be Lithuanian. Get culturally dominated by Poland. Refuse to speak Polish anyway. Refuse influence from any language. Remove loan words, replace them with newly made Baltic sounding ones. End up impossible to learn.
Making new enemies.
Well, it’s Lithuania:)
Look at my flag, lol. :D
Going to the forest to pick mushrooms, nuts and berries. Going to the beach to pick up washed out amber. Having a lot of people grow their own food, even the city folk.
Nobody believes you.

Abandoned homesteads, village homes or dachas. Some areas have a lot of abandoned houses. It sometimes takes years to find squatters in some places. My father in law is an alcoholic who has been moving between abandoned houses for 5 years now, sometimes with owner’s permission.
Near bigger cities, you sometimes get forest camps, but local government tends to remove them when they are found.
He would know, he has made a video about Kanye before.
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.
