It doesn't have to be black and white. This is something you discuss together, to see where each partner stands and where the relationship will go moving forward.
Have you been dating long? Something strikes me as odd that you would eschew your entire relationship because your partner now identifies as a woman.
She still has the same personality, the same quirks that you fell in love with, no?
It just seems weird that her gender would supersede the relationship you built together.
I'm seeing your message to her, and what I see is you taking the easy way out of this relationship: you're a girl, I don't like them. You're rejecting her for the one thing she can't help, problem solved.
If you really want to end this relationship, then I would recommend you think about how you're feeling right now and be honest with yourself, and then be honest with her, about the real reason you're ending this relationship.
I was 11 or so, on holiday, went horseback riding wearing shorts and thin socks. They set up my stirrups too low and as I held on to the saddle for dear life, one stirrup kept bouncing on my ankle for the entire afternoon.
My thighs chafed pretty bad, and I got an open wound on my ankle about the size of those souvenir pressed oval coins. I don't know what my dad was thinking, but he treated my wound with some cream and then wrapped my whole calf in plastic wrap every day for about a week.
The wound turned into an ulcer, I couldn't walk without limping. I had all these little pockets of pus on the edges which my dad had me squeeze to try and make them smaller. It did nothing except be painful.
I eventually went home to my mom - a nurse - who took one look at my leg and rushed me to a doctor.
The doctor then proceeded to vigorously clean my wound before dressing it. It felt like hot barbed wire, that really sucked.
I still have the oval scar on my ankle.
I guess the main change is that you get to go on new kinds of adventures depending on what you like.
You have the option to go and explore massive caves, maybe find a trial chamber where you can get good loot early-ish game. You can slowly dig out an ancient village or underwater ruins filled with artifacts. For a challenge, there's the ancient city guarded by a ferocious creature that will detect you if you make a sound.
All of these also added new redstone elements if you're into building machines.
But also if you like to build, then there are new blocks, new paintings.
And if you just enjoy walking around, biomes are more diverse and more full of elements. Flowers, bees, goats, foxes, axolotl... I particularly enjoy cherry trees at the base of snowy mountains.
Note: I've only been playing for a few years so these are all relatively new additions, I'm sure I've missed a ton of other ones
Also Varusteleka has some nice shorts. Pockets in the right places, comfy.
Great tutorial! I wonder what the stretching step is for? Like, what happens if you skip it?

> Flemish socialist party Vooruit is calling on Flemish public broadcaster VRT to push for an investigation into the televoting system within the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), the organiser of the Eurovision Song Contest. That the Israeli contestant received 12 points from the Belgian public, while the expert jury gave none, raises questions about manipulation – just like in Spain.

**There is a high risk that the payback effects the Belgian government is counting on to reduce its budget deficit have been greatly overestimated, according to the Court of Audit. Opposition parties criticized the government for failing to keep its most important promise. ** The government expects to see a return of 7.9 billion euros from boosting the employment rate, but it is overestimating both the size of the group and the yield per person employed. That is according to the Court of Audit's opinion on the budget, which was submitted to members of parliament on Friday.
The government expects to create nearly 300,000 additional jobs by the end of the legislative term, yielding 30,000 euros per person. However, according to the Court of Audit, the group has been defined too broadly, leading to an overestimation.
'Unsubstantiated objective'
Furthermore, the Court of Audit states that it is "highly uncertain" that the government will achieve the additional employment targets set each year. The figures are not based on detailed calculations but rather "an unsubstantiated objective."
"The government can no longer hide. It has simply failed.”
The Court of Audit also lacks sufficient information to assess the realism of projected revenues or expenditures for other measures, including some tax measures and expenditures outside the defense budget that the government wants to count toward the NATO spending target of 2 per cent of GDP.
Broken promise
The opposition parties did not hold back in their criticism of the government's budget and its prime minister, Bart De Wever. “Bart De Wever has turned out not to be the responsible accountant he has always claimed to be, but rather a true amateur. The Court of Audit completely demolished his budget,” said Stefaan Van Hecke, leader of the Groen parliamentary faction.
"A balanced budget was this government's most important promise. And that promise was already broken after 100 days,” said Alexia Bertrand and Vincent Van Quickenborne of the Open VLD party. The PS called the report “deadly” for the government. "The conclusion is unequivocal: the budget does not add up," said faction leader Pierre-Yves Dermagne. "The government can no longer hide. It has simply failed.”

On estime que, chaque année, quelque 100.000 vélos sont volés en Belgique.
Un an après le lancement du registre national d’identification des vélos MyBike, celui-ci a permis de retrouver 150 bicyclettes volées, soit 14,55% des vélos subtilisés enregistrés sur la plateforme, a indiqué jeudi le SPF Mobilité. Au total, 75.057 deux-roues ont été enregistrés sur ce portail développé par l’État fédéral et les trois Régions.
L’outil bruxellois généralisé à la Belgique
L’outil a été lancé il y a un peu plus d’un an, le 23 avril 2024. Un tel système existait toutefois déjà en Région bruxelloise, consignant 55.793 vélos. Depuis le lancement de la plateforme commune, 75.057 vélos s’y sont ajoutés. La plateforme est particulièrement populaire en Flandre, avec 54.850 vélos recensés, contre 13.276 en Wallonie et 6.931 à Bruxelles. Au total, 130.850 vélos ont donc été enregistrés.
La plateforme est notamment destinée à lutter contre le vol et le recel, tout en augmentant les chances de retrouver son vélo en cas de vol. Outre la collaboration interrégionale, les services de police et la Justice ont accès au registre.
Autocollant unique
Concrètement, la plateforme permet d’enregistrer gratuitement son vélo à l’aide d’un autocollant à identifiant unique. Elle fonctionne aussi bien pour les vélos neufs que pour les vélos d’occasion. “Si vous perdez votre vélo ou s’il est volé, vous pouvez le signaler immédiatement sur la plateforme. Ainsi, les vélos dérobés ou perdus peuvent être retrouvés et restitués plus rapidement”, affirme l’administration.
“Sur les 1.031 vélos dérobés enregistrés sur MyBike, 150 ont déjà été restitués à leur propriétaire. Cette part représente 14,55 % des vélos dérobés enregistrés sur la plateforme, soit 3,5 fois plus que lorsque les vélos ne sont pas enregistrés sur MyBike“, affirme le SPF Mobilité.
Par ailleurs, l’autocollant MyBike a un effet préventif, “en ce sens qu’il est susceptible de dissuader les voleurs potentiels“, selon le SPF.

> The court of first instance in Brussels has condemned the Flemish government for failing to adequately protect the wild hamster, reported environmental organisations Dryade and Vogelbescherming Vlaanderen (Bird Protection Flanders). The government must now take measures, including providing a required minimum area of suitable habitat and a sufficiently large hamster population.

"100 motifs, (g)een motief, all over”, tel est le nom de l’exposition qui occupera une partie du Musée Horta de Bruxelles du 15 mai au 2 novembre prochains.
A travers une centaine de dessins pour des tapis, papiers peints et textiles d’ameublement, l’expo vise à montrer “la façon dont les motifs, les couleurs, les décors et les ornements se sont renouvelés et transformés entre 1910 et 1940”.
Ces changements stylistiques reflètent les “bouleversements esthétiques, sociaux et historiques de l’époque” et l’exposition propose de montrer la diversité des créations de cette période autour d’un thème : le motif.
L’événement est développé autour de trois supports: papiers peints, tapis et textiles d’ameublement, “qui jouent en rôle puissant dans tout intérieur: en y marquant la gamme chromatique, les contrastes, les lignes, …“
La diversité sera représentée par des créations belges et européennes, avec des oeuvres de grands noms (Victor Servranckx, Eileen Gray, Evekyn Wyld, René Baucher, Sylvie Féron, Hélène Henry) ou de créateurs tombés dans l’anonymat.
L’exposition sera à voir du 15 mai au 2 novembre prochains. Un vernissage “festif ouvert à tous” aura lieu le 14 mai.

> Bientôt, les allocations de chômage seront limitées dans le temps. Une limitation à deux ans maximum, voire moins en fonction du nombre d’années de travail. Certains y voient "le chemin vers le plein emploi", d’autres redoutent "un bain de sang social". Mais que disent les recherches en la matière ? C'est ce qu’on a tenté de voir dans le podcast Les Clés avec le professeur d’Economie Bruno Van der Linden (IRES - UCLouvain).
