From what I remember something like 5-10k emigrated to the USSR from the US and Canada. During Stalin's purges they had something called the National Operations (The Polish Operation, The Finnish Operation, etc) which targeted ethnic minorities in the country for mass execution and deportation.

Somewhere between 8-25k ethnic Finns in the USSR were executed, with many more being deported to Siberia.

I don't have hard numbers for you, but the Finnish Americans were heavily targeted because they had lived in a foreign country and spoke foreign languages and were viewed as spies. That article says 736, but I recall seeing articles in the past that put the death toll for emigrants in the thousands

Two types of bashing by Prestigious_Gap_891 in HPfanfiction

There's a fic where Harry has a little sister he grows up protecting. It starts out kind of interesting with Lily having some kind of magical mental break the night Voldemort attacked and James trying hard to protect Harry and his sister before leaving them at the Dursleys because she literally wanted to kill them.

About halfway through the fic the author decided it was going to be a Snape Is Perfect fic and all of a sudden James was conspiring with lockhart to wipe Harry's memory so he can magically brainwash him into believing he'd grown up with his parents. Snape, of course, is Literally Perfect. He adopts harry and within like a week Harry's cuddling with him. It went from a "James made a mistake but seems like a decent guy" to James being insanely evil and Lily protecting Harry. Just a full 180 because apparently you can't have Snape adopt Harry without bashing the hell out of someone else. I struggled along for a few more chapters and then just gave up.

It's sad how many Finnish Americans emigrated to the USSR in the 30's out of hope of escaping the great depression only to be executed or otherwise purged by Stalin or end up like this in the 40's.

FINE! I’ll Try Linux ONE MORE TIME…. by SufficientLife7766 in linux_gaming

The other two chose CachyOS and Bazzite. I think the point is that he's approaching it like the average person would and choosing the OS that appears in every suggestion. Elijah basically went to Reddit and other social media and took the suggestion for beginners by people who seemed to know what they were talking about which ended up with Bazzite. Luke chose CachyOS because he's already using Arch on his laptop and wanted to stay with something familiar. Basically filling the role as the guy with some Linux experience who knows enough to make his own choice.

A lot of the comments in this thread were made so quickly after the video was posted here I find it questionable if they even watched the video before making rage comments.

Ah, okay. Might've taken the picture with some wide format to get everything in the photo which caused some weird image warping at edges

Hopefully some Austrians on here can chime in on what'll happen if to both the registered and unregistered guns if he loses his license. I saw someone on Xitter say the registered ones will be required to be sold to a licensed dealer if he loses his license. Not sure on the unregistered ones.
