The internationally accepted definition of what constitutes a genocide is quite limited and certainly not identical to what is colloquially interpreted as genocide. The same way murder is distinct from manslaughter.
Serbia was found not guilty of committing genocide by the ICJ in the Yugoslav wars for instance. Serbia did commit various crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing (primarily by way of deportation) but this was not found to be genocide.
Most scholars believe genocide (as defined under the Genocide Convention) refers exclusively the "physical-biological destruction of a protected group".
In the case of Prosecutor v. Krstić (2 August 2001), the ICTY ruled "customary international law limits the definition of genocide to those acts seeking the physical or biological destruction of all or part of the group. Hence, an enterprise attacking only the cultural or sociological characteristics of a human group in order to annihilate these elements which give to that group its own identity distinct from the rest of the community would not fall under the definition of genocide".
On 14 January 2000, the ICTY ruled in the Prosecutor v. Kupreškić and Others case that the Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing campaign in order to expel the Bosnian Muslim population from the region was persecution, not genocide per se.
Though under some nation's law, such as Germany, the definition of genocide is more broad:
However, the ECHR highlighted that the German court's ruling, based upon German domestic law, had interpreted the crime of genocide more broadly than and in a manner since rejected by international courts.[52] Under the wider definition that the German judiciary upheld, the ethnic cleansing carried out by Jorgić was a genocide because it was an intent to destroy the group as a social unit, and although the majority of scholars took the view that German genocide law should interpret genocide as the physical-biological destruction of the protected group, "a considerable number of scholars were of the opinion that the notion of destruction of a group as such, in its literal meaning, was wider than a physical-biological extermination and also encompassed the destruction of a group as a social unit"
Tl;dr: It's only genocide when it comes from the genocide region, else it's just sparkling ethnic cleansing.
Yeah, that's an issue. Though that is also significantly less trustworthy since it only proves possession of an ID, not ownership. Afaik this method is therefore legally insufficient for platforms that need to know their customer (banks, stock exchanges etc.).
Germany's app (AusweisApp2) is open source and available for literally every platform. Linux, FreeBSD and even Fdroid included.
I'm not sure of the exact functionality and whether the government can track anything. You need to scan your ID, the app will then ask for a PIN (2fa) and then will tell you which data will be sent to whoever made the request.
Authentication is done through an eID server which in theory anyone can set up. The requirement are quite strict though so right now there are only three providers. They check the validity of the ID and request and send the received ID data to the requestor.
It's quite the complicated procedure to ensure the highest possible security and privacy.
The entire process is publicly documented and you can probably spend a few hours trying to understand it.
As for locking people out of online communities: I don't think it's a problem if and only if the legislation applies exclusively to social media providers above a certain size. Such as having 5 million+ monthly users.
Just one thing to consider: I don't think ultra long distance running, where women seem to have these potential advantages, has any men's/women's divisions. There are so little participants and it takes such a long time to host these events, it makes no sense to establish any. There's not much money on the line either, it's a very "pure" sport where participants do it for the challenge only.
As for (regular) marathons, where there are men's and women's division: The article mentions men still retain a ~12% advantage, so this wouldn't work unfortunately.

Young people too are increasingly requesting assisted suicide. I read an article about how in 2025, of the 8 people that made a request through the largest assisted suicide association (DGHS) due to ME/CFS, 5 were between 24 and 29 years old. There are sadly no official numbers for total assisted suicides due to ME/CFS (or any other reason) available.
Looking at a statistic I found, in 2024 the same association helped just 4 people in the same age range request assisted suicide:
Use ellipse select tool with a fixed aspect ratio of 1:1. Then Select -> Border and choose a width. Then fill it with a color.
Like yeah, it is 3 steps instead of having a dedicated "Shapes" tool with a bunch of options that would do the same. But GIMP is kind of built around selections, you do need to learn to use them if you ever want to use GIMP effectively. It's about as important as understanding layers.
Has the US ever done so? I don't think that's a real risk. Or rather, it's not any higher than the US threatening to nuke Italy unless the organization is disbanded.

Just look at a couple excerpts from this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide

Tl;dr: It's only genocide when it comes from the genocide region, else it's just sparkling ethnic cleansing.
That's quite the... "friendly" translation. I'd translate it as "polish your fucking mouth" instead.
You will likely get your mouth polished if you call someone's mouth a "Fresse".
Und was bedeutet das für Hessen?

It's not prudish but still very virtuous from the one in chastity. So much so that they should receive constant affirmations of how good they are.

Nah, they're great. I've had to pick up bottle caps because they slipped out of my hand before.
It's genuinely more convenient imo to have the caps attached to the bottle.
