At least when I shit my pants after drinking milk, it’s because I’m a baby, not lack toes in toll Iran.

Ah, apologies for the misread, and moreover for incorrectly ascribing a statement to you.
That said, it’s not really relevant to the main point - namely the definitions there do not appear to have a settler exception. Whether those are fair or accurate definitions is of course another question entirely…
I think this is an interesting question of the overlap of meaning and rhetoric.
Here’s Wikipedia on ethnic cleansing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing . The definition does not take into account the “settler” status. Indeed, it specifically lists your German example as ethnic cleansing.
The definitions the un has used in certain reports can be found here https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/ethnic-cleansing.shtml. Again, settler status is not some exception to the definition.
I need to get this shirt.
The “magic law” is just the consequence of what it means to be the “same” person. To be the same person, you have to, among other similarities, take up the same spatial-temporal space. This is why if we ask “is Bruce Wayne the same person as Batman” one of the first thoughts is “you know, I’ve never seen them in the same room before.”
Maybe what you’re getting hung up on here is the split. Let’s imagine there is one river (river A) which goes for a bit before it forks and becomes river b and river c. In some sense, we could say that both river b and river c are river a. But if you’re river b, then river c is not the same as you, and vice versa.
God the insanity of that wealth is hard to fathom.
Nobody needs $100m, which is itself a totally insignificant amount compared to $1b… and we’re talking people with hundreds of billions :/
Holy shit they banned Maus? That’s nuts.
Me petting a cow: “wow haha, it’s almost like I’m touching a giant squishy eyeball.”
Cow: “I am just a normal cow.”
Me: “you are just a normal cow.”
Cow: “good, now walk away and tell nobody this happened.”
So cooky, those cows!
What is tc69 thought?
Now replace the ground level street with a park
Fair enough. And sorry, didn’t mean any offense - I just read the “extremely skeptical” as the strongest statement in the thread.
What’s calling HR gonna do? They’re just gonna pretend that putting ant-killing gel around Jim’s workplace wasn’t a reasonable accommodation and that they didn’t have to do it. Maybe they’ll fabricate some conversation where Jim said he didn’t want it when the lawsuit comes.
