Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (Official Music Video) [HD UPGRADE]


"Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers is a reflective and melodic track that explores themes of life in California and the impact of culture on society. The song features a blend of rock and funk elements, showcasing the band's signature sound. As the title track from their album "Californication," it has become one of their most iconic songs.

Lyrics:
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
An' little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the east at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin or is that war you're waging?
Firstborn unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station to Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean no vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test but this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Here's a thought, stop assuming that everybody that responds to you is being confrontational and if you don't want replies and responses to your posts then don't make them public in the first place.

As a standout track from the album "All The Little Lights," it has resonated with listeners around the world, becoming a defining moment in his career.

Lyrics:
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Worked for almost 20 years in critical infrastructure (electric generation). We often had employees that had to go to China for work and business.

IT issued them burner phones and burner laptops. They were not allowed to use their normal business owned devices and were encouraged not to bring their personal devices when away on business.

I see the US today as no different than China.

With its catchy melody and inspiring lyrics, the song has become a fan favourite and a staple in the band's discography. Featured in "The Dome: Summer 2013," it showcases OneRepublic's signature sound and energetic vibe.

Lyrics:
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn

Take that money, watch it burn

I sincerely donโ€™t understand the Jew hate that grows so strong that it becomes completely oblivious to what many Arab Muslims do that is exactly what is so despised when Jews do it. I take that back. I understand it. Itโ€™s just stupid unconditional hatred from people thinking they have found a scapegoat for everything wrong in their civilization.

Oh, I cannot explain, every time, it's the same
Oh, I feel that it's real, take my heart
I've been lonely too long, oh, I can't be so strong
Take the chance for romance, take my heart
I need you so
There's no time I'll ever go
Cheri, cheri lady
Goin' through a motion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
Living in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
I get up, I get down, all my world turns around
Who is right? Who was wrong? I don't know
I've got pain in my heart, got a love in my soul
Easy come, but I think easy go
I need you so
All the times I move so slow
Cheri, cheri lady
Goin' through a motion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
Living in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me "baby"
I'll be yours
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me "baby"
I'll be yours

She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mosquito, my libido, yeah
Hey, yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift, I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

A mosquito, my libido, yeah
Hey, yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious

The official video complements the song's vibrant energy and relatable themes, showcasing Lola's unique style and artistry. As a standout piece from her album "This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway," it highlights her growth as an artist.

Lyrics:
You know I'm impatient
So why would you leave me waiting outside the station?
When it was like minus 4 degrees
And I get what you're saying
I just really don't want to hear it right now
Can you shut up for like once in your life?
Listen to me
I took your nice words of advice about
How you think I'm gonna die
Lucky if I turned 33
Okay, so yeah, I smoke like a chimney
I'm not skinny and I pull a Britney
Every other week
But cut me some slack
Who do you want me to be?

'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking lot

You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot

It's taking you ages
You still don't get the hint
I'm not asking for pages
But one text or two would be nice
And please, don't pull those faces
When I've been out working my arse off all day
It's just one bottle of wine or two
But hey, you can't even talk
You smoke weed just to help you sleep
Then why you're out getting stoned at 4 o'clock
And then you come home to me
And don't say hello
'Cause I got high again
And forgot to fold my clothes

'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot

And I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry

Do you not get it yet? Jackbooted big-government thugs are deliberately doing terrible things, in order to provoke Americans to protest, and then they'll call the protests "insurrection" and use it as an excuse to crack down and suspend freedom.

No 2 ways about it, this is a big device. It has a 17 inch screen, 16:10. It weighs 2.8 kilos, and it's 38 cm wide, 27 cm deep, and 2.7 cm thick.

The chassis is made of aluminium and has literally no flex, no bend, no creaking. It also resists fingerprints really well, thanks to a soft touch coating on the inside of the laptop.

You're free to open it, and you can access and replace the 2 M.2 SSD slots, the RAM, the wireless card, and the battery as well, which is screwed in and not glued.

The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. All models come with at least 16 gigs of RAM, and an RTX 3070Ti with 8Gigs of vRAM. You also get 250 gigs of PCIe3 SSD, and Wifi 6 + BLuetooth 5.2.

It can go up to 64 Gigs of 4800 Mhz RAM, up to 4TB of PCIe 4 storage, and, either an RTX 3080, or a 3080Ti. And all cards run at their maximum Total Graphics Power allowed by Nvidia,. You also get a 99Wh battery.

On geekbench 6, it gave me scores of 2121 in single core, and 10219 in multi core.

I ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, at high settings, at the native resolution of 2560x1600, and it got me an average of 101 FPS. When cranking all the settings to the max, still at the native resolution, it managed to reach 97 FPS. At 1080p highest details, the Stellaris 17 got 110FPS.

It also gave me an idea about thermals, at 75 ยฐC under heavy load, which isn't bad at all.

With its 99Wh battery, running in Nvidia on demand mode, with the display at 50% brightness, wifi being used to play youtube videos in a loop in Firefox, the laptop lasted for 8 hours and 12 minutes.

The keyboard uses Cherry MX ultra low profile switches. The key travel is really good, at 1.8 mm, and the click happens at 0.8 mm. Some of the keys aren't using mechanical switches, notably the function keys and the whole numpad, they're using membrane switches instead.

The touchpad is humongous. It's also thankfully centered, and it's covered in glass, so it's really smooth. It feels very precise, and using it with tap to click feels great.

It's a diveboard mechanism, so obviously you can't click everywhere on it, it has to be in the bottom half of the touchpad, and the sound it makes is satisfying and doesn't rattle.

The dislay 16:10, 17 inches, and it goes up to 240hz refresh rate. It is G Sync compatible, to avoid any screen tearing issues. It's decently bright, at 380 nits, and it has full sRGB coverage.

In terms of ports, on the left, you get the usual Kensington Lock, a USB-A 3.2 Gen2x1 port, a microphone input, and a headphone jack. On the right, you get an SD card reader, and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports. And on the back, you have a port for the Aquaris external watercooling solution, a USB-C 3.2 Gen2x1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a Gigabit ethernet port, and a barrel jack.

Let's finish with the mic, speakers and webcam. The microphone is decent, but nothing to write home about. You'll want to run it at about 25% volume. The speakers get really loud, but they don't distort or sound tinny at all, they have a good amount of bass.

As per the webcam, well it's 1080p, and it can produce good results with decent lighting, but it's still a bit grainy even in natural light. It's just a small notch above the usual potato cam.

Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved


"Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi is a heartfelt ballad that explores themes of love and loss. With its emotional lyrics and Capaldi's powerful vocals, the song resonates deeply with listeners, capturing the pain of longing for someone who is no longer present. It has become a defining track in his career, showcasing his talent for conveying raw emotion.

Lyrics:
Iโ€™m going under and this time I fear thereโ€™s no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy

I need somebody to heal
somebody to know
somebody to have
somebody to hold
Itโ€™s easy to say
but itโ€™s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and youโ€™re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Iโ€™m going under and this time I fear thereโ€™s no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now I need somebody to know
somebody to heal
somebody to have
just to know how it feels
Itโ€™s easy to say
but itโ€™s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape

Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and youโ€™re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around

For now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and youโ€™re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

But now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and youโ€™re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Kendrick Lamar, SZA - All The Stars


"All The Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA is a powerful collaboration that serves as a celebration of identity and resilience. Featured in "Black Panther: The Album," the song combines Kendrick's sharp lyricism with SZA's soulful vocals, creating a dynamic and uplifting anthem that resonates with themes of empowerment and unity.

Lyrics:
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)

This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer

Tell me what you gon' do to me
Confrontation ain't nothin' new to me
You can bring a bullet, bring a sword, bring a morgue
But you can't bring the truth to me
- you and all your expectations
I don't even want your congratulations
I recognize your false confidence
And calculated promises all in your conversation

I hate people that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important? You the moral to the story, you endorsing?
Motherf-, I don't even like you
Corrupt a man's heart with a gift
That's how you find out who you dealin' with
A small percentage, who I'm building with
I want the credit if I'm losing, or I'm winning
On my momma, that's the realest sh-

Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)

This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer

Skin covered in ego
Get to talkin', I get involved
Like a rebound, got no end game
Got no ways out, got to stay down
It's the way that you making me feel
Like nobody ever loved me like you do, you do
You kinda feel like you're tryna get away from me
If you do, I won't move

I ain't just cry for no reason (reason)
I ain't just pray for no reason (reason)
I give thanks for the days, for the hours
And another way, another life breathing
I did it all 'cause it feel good
I wouldn't do it at all if it feel bad
Better live your life
We were running out of time

Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)

This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer

Demokrasi dinamiklerinin senkronizasyonu sorunu

RECEP MARAลžLI

รœniversite รถฤŸrencileri Saraรงhane direniลŸindeโ€ฆ
Son รผรง ay iรงerisinde Tรผrkiyeโ€™de belki de mevcut rejimin kaderini deฤŸiลŸtirecek iki รถnemli geliลŸme yaลŸandฤฑ. Ve demokrasi mรผcadelesi tarihimizde รงoฤŸu kez rastladฤฑฤŸฤฑmฤฑz gibi bu vektรถrler yan yana deฤŸil birbiriyle kesiลŸerek ilerleme eฤŸilimi gรถsterdi.
Bunlardan biri, MHP lideri Devlet Bahรงeliโ€™nin รงaฤŸrฤฑsฤฑyla yeniden gรผndemleลŸen Kรผrt sorununun barฤฑลŸรงฤฑl รงรถzรผm sรผreci; diฤŸeri ise, CHPโ€™nin kazanma ihtimali en yรผksek gรถrรผlen mรผstakbel CumhurbaลŸkanฤฑ adayฤฑ ve ฤฐstanbul BรผyรผkลŸehir Belediye BaลŸkanฤฑ Ekrem ฤฐmamoฤŸluโ€™nun bir sรผrรผ yolsuzluk ve terรถre destek gibi suรงlamalarla tutuklanmasฤฑydฤฑ.
Birbirine taban tabana zฤฑt olan bu iki hamle ErdoฤŸan ekibinin gerรงekte ne yapmak istediฤŸini sorduruyor. Bir yandan sรผrekli ลŸeytanlaลŸtฤฑrฤฑlan HDP/DEM parti geleneฤŸi ve โ€œdeฤŸiลŸmez dรผลŸmanโ€ olan Kรผrt ulusal demokratik hareketiyle belli belirsiz de olsa bir barฤฑลŸ kapฤฑsฤฑ aralarken; Tรผrkiye Cumhuriyetiโ€™nin kurucu ana muhalefet partisine, onun cumhurbaลŸkanฤฑ adayฤฑna ve รผlkenin en bรผyรผk metropolรผne giriลŸilen bu darbe bir arada nasฤฑl yorumlanabilir?
Akla gelen ilk ลŸey, bu saldฤฑrฤฑ karลŸฤฑsฤฑnda Kรผrt รถzgรผrlรผk hareketini ve baฤŸlaลŸฤฑฤŸฤฑ olan demokrasi gรผรงlerinin atฤฑl kalmasฤฑnฤฑ saฤŸlamak gibi bir planฤฑn dรผลŸรผnรผlmรผลŸ olabileceฤŸidir. Kรผrt ulusal muhalefeti bir รงรถzรผm fฤฑrsatฤฑ ortaya รงฤฑkmฤฑลŸken bunu heba etmek istemeyecek, iktidara karลŸฤฑ bir tepki vermekten kaรงฤฑnacak, bรถylece hem mevcut, hem de olasฤฑ ittifaklar kฤฑrฤฑlmฤฑลŸ olacaktฤฑ.
Benim gรถrรผลŸรผm, ErdoฤŸan rejiminin ne pahasฤฑna olursa olsun siyasi iktidarฤฑnฤฑ korumaya odaklฤฑ olmakla birlikte; bu aลŸamada yaptฤฑฤŸฤฑ hamlelerin koordineden uzak, stratejik bir akฤฑldan yoksun olarak can havliyle yapฤฑldฤฑฤŸฤฑ; belki de รงeลŸitli ekipler tarafฤฑndan kotarฤฑlan bu koordinasyonsuz hamlelerin birbirini anlamsฤฑz hale getirdiฤŸidir.
ฤฐktidar erkinde aรงฤฑkรงa รงok baลŸlฤฑlฤฑk ve telaลŸ gรถzleniyor: bu telaลŸ รถyle veya bรถyle iktidarlarฤฑnฤฑn sonuna geldiฤŸi ve eฤŸer iktidar deฤŸiลŸirse ลŸimdiye kadarki devasa kazanฤฑmlarฤฑn nasฤฑl korunacaฤŸฤฑ gibi yakฤฑcฤฑ sorunlardan kaynaklanฤฑyor.
ฤฐktidarฤฑn iki hamlesinin koordinesiz olabileceฤŸine dair dรผลŸรผncemi destekleyen ลŸey, ร–calanโ€™a yapฤฑlan รงaฤŸrฤฑnฤฑn Devlet Bahรงeliโ€™den gelmesidir. Bu hamle asฤฑl olarak OrtadoฤŸuโ€™da yeni ve Tรผrkiye aรงฤฑsฤฑndan tehlikeli statรผkolar oluลŸurken Kรผrt dinamiฤŸini yanฤฑna alarak bir duruลŸ gรถstermeyi temel alฤฑyor. Tรผrkiye Cumhuriyeti devleti aรงฤฑsฤฑndan uluslararasฤฑ boyutu olan stratejik bir varlฤฑk sorunu olarak gรถzรผkรผyor. Bรถyle bir sรผreรงte yฤฑllarca baลŸ dรผลŸman bellenmiลŸ PKK hareketiyle bir uzlaลŸma ararken; devletin kurucu partisi ve her koลŸulda sadฤฑk Tรผrk milliyetรงisi CHP kitlesini kรผstรผrรผp dฤฑลŸlamak, dรผลŸmanlaลŸtฤฑrmak herhalde bu akฤฑlla ters bir durum olurdu.
ฤฐmamoฤŸlu operasyonu ise belli ki Bahรงeli tasarฤฑmฤฑnฤฑn amaรง ve hedeflerinden tamamen uzakta, sadece ErdoฤŸanโ€™ฤฑn sonraki baลŸkanlฤฑk seรงimlerindeki en gรผรงlรผ adayฤฑnฤฑ tasfiye etmeye, CHPโ€™ye karลŸฤฑ sindirme ve gรผรง gรถsterisine yรถnelik kฤฑsa ve orta vadeyle dรผลŸรผnรผlmรผลŸ bir hamle. EฤŸer illa bir koordineden bahsedeceksek, bunun โ€œรงรถzรผm sรผreciโ€ni รถzellikle baltalamak iรงin kotarฤฑlmฤฑลŸ bir kฤฑลŸkฤฑrtma olduฤŸunu sรถylemek daha anlamlฤฑ olur. Belki de bir tarafฤฑn kurmaylarฤฑ Behรงeli projesini sadece muhalefet gรผรงlerinin ittifaklarฤฑnฤฑ parรงalamak iรงin bir fฤฑrsat olarak gรถrdรผler. Gรถremedikleri ลŸey ise bunun CHP kitlesini ayaklandฤฑran bir toplumsal dinamizme yol aรงmasฤฑydฤฑ.
Bir baลŸka ihtimal de her iki hamlenin de muhalefeti, sonraki dรถnem iรงin belli pazarlฤฑklara zorlamak amacฤฑyla imal edilen araรงlar olmasฤฑ; Birisi havuรง, diฤŸeri sopa olarak!..
Demokrasi gรผรงlerinin รถnceliฤŸi; haklar mฤฑ รงฤฑkarlar mฤฑ?
Tรผrkiyeโ€™de รงok kolay bulunmasa da eksiฤŸi gediฤŸi รงok fazla da olsa yine de en umutsuz zamanlarda ortaya รงฤฑkan bir demokrasi dinamizminin var olduฤŸu, 19 Mart operasyonlarฤฑ sonrasฤฑnda ฤฐstanbul Saraรงhaneโ€™de baลŸlayฤฑp haftalarca sรผren, รผlkenin pek รงok yerine yayฤฑlan kitlesel protesto gรถsterilerinde bir kez daha gรถrรผldรผ. Bunu 2013โ€™de patlak veren โ€œGezi protestolarฤฑโ€ dรถnemindeki coลŸkuyla kฤฑyaslayabiliriz. Bu kez de รผniversite genรงliฤŸinin รถncรผlรผฤŸรผ ile baลŸladฤฑ ve ama sadece bununla kalmayฤฑp yerinden รงok zor kalkan CHP kitlesinin de harekete geรงmesini saฤŸladฤฑ. CHP yรถnetiminin geleneksel olarak kitle hareketlerinden kaรงฤฑnma ve onlarฤฑ barajlama yerine bu kez onlarฤฑ dikkate almak zorunda kalmasฤฑ, bu sรผrecin ayฤฑrt edici รถzelliklerinden biri oldu.
DeฤŸerli felsefecilerimizden ฤฐoanna Kuรงuradi, โ€œhakโ€ ile โ€œรงฤฑkarโ€ arasฤฑnda fark olduฤŸuna dikkat รงeker: โ€œร‡ฤฑkar, hakkฤฑmฤฑzdan biraz fazlasฤฑdฤฑr; bu da baลŸkasฤฑnฤฑn hakkฤฑnฤฑ ihlal edebilen bir ลŸeydir.โ€ Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla โ€œhak รงatฤฑลŸmasฤฑโ€ olmaz ama โ€œรงฤฑkar รงatฤฑลŸmasฤฑโ€ รงok gรถrรผlรผrโ€ฆ Buradan hareketle can alฤฑcฤฑ sorumuz ลŸudur: Demokrasi talep eden gruplar gerรงekten haklarฤฑnฤฑ mฤฑ savunuyorlar, yoksa รงฤฑkarlarฤฑnฤฑ mฤฑ? Sadece kendi โ€œhakโ€larฤฑnฤฑ mฤฑ savunuyorlar yoksa diฤŸerlerinin haklarฤฑna da saygฤฑlฤฑlar mฤฑ?
Hak, รถzgรผrlรผk, demokrasi talebiyle eyleme geรงen kitleler homojen deฤŸildir. Aralarฤฑnda รงฤฑkar ve talepleri birbirinden farklฤฑ sฤฑnฤฑflar, tabakalar, รงฤฑkar gruplarฤฑ, hatta birbirleriyle รงatฤฑลŸmalฤฑ maฤŸdur gruplar da bulunabilir. Demokrasi gรผรงleri sadece egemen otorite ile mรผcadele etmekle kalmaz, kendine dinamizm veren gruplarฤฑn aralarฤฑndaki iyi veya kรถtรผ iliลŸkilerle de biรงimlenir. Bundandฤฑr ki merkezi otorite muhalif katmanlar arasฤฑndaki รงeliลŸkileri kฤฑลŸkฤฑrtmaktan; birbirine karลŸฤฑ kullanmaktan geri durmaz.
Demokrasi talep eden gruplar da diฤŸerlerinin gรผcรผnden yararlanฤฑrken, kendi รถnceliklerini dayatmaya; daha gรผรงsรผz gruplarฤฑ kendilerine tabi kฤฑlmaya eฤŸilimli olabilirler. Bir fizik kuralฤฑ olarak daha bรผyรผk kรผtle dinamizminin daha kรผรงรผkleri kendine รงekmesi, sosyal mรผcadeleler iรงin de geรงerlidir.
Saraรงhane gรถsterileri sรผrecinde olan da buydu; CHP kitlesi kendilerine yapฤฑlan bu haksฤฑzlฤฑฤŸa karลŸฤฑ korku duvarฤฑnฤฑ aลŸฤฑp sokaฤŸa รงฤฑkฤฑnca, daha รถnce hep alanda olan ve hak arayan gruplarla aralarฤฑna bir sฤฑnฤฑr รงekme ihtiyacฤฑ da hasฤฑl oldu. ร‡รผnkรผ onlar kendilerine haksฤฑzlฤฑk yapฤฑlmasฤฑna alฤฑลŸmamฤฑลŸlardฤฑ; kendileri diฤŸerleri gibi deฤŸildi, memleketin gerรงek efendisi idiler; her zaman itilip kakฤฑlmฤฑลŸ olanlarla bir arada olmamalฤฑydฤฑlar! Bรถylesi bir duyguyla koลŸullanan en azฤฑndan bir bรถlรผm Saraรงhane kitlesi, Kรผrt ulusal hareketi baลŸta olmak รผzere rejimin hedefindeki diฤŸer bรผtรผn maฤŸdur gruplarฤฑ dฤฑลŸlamakta beis gรถrmediler. ฤฐลŸin ilginรง yanฤฑ, bunu yaptฤฑktan sonra da โ€œonlar niye bizi desteklemiyor, o halde iktidar yanlฤฑsฤฑlar!โ€ diye bu durumdan ikinci bir รงฤฑkar saฤŸlamayฤฑ da ihmal etmemeleriโ€ฆ
DEM parti ve bileลŸenleri, bir yandan ortada henรผz somut bir ลŸey olmasa da bir รงรถzรผm sรผreci ihtimalinin ortaya รงฤฑkmฤฑลŸ olma ลŸansฤฑnฤฑ heba etmemek; bir yandan da sรผrekli mรผcadelesini verdikleri ve hep maฤŸduru olduklarฤฑ bir konuda ana muhalefet akฤฑmฤฑyla da ilkesel bir dayanฤฑลŸma gรถstermek ikilemindeydi. Bฤฑรงak sฤฑrtฤฑ bir รงizgide, รผstelik onlarca kez kazandฤฑklarฤฑ belediye baลŸkanlarฤฑ tutuklanฤฑp kayyum atanฤฑrken kendileriyle hiรงbir dayanฤฑลŸma yapฤฑlmamฤฑลŸ olmasฤฑna raฤŸmen soฤŸukkanlฤฑ bir duruลŸ gรถstermeye รงalฤฑลŸtฤฑlar diyebilirim.
Saraรงhane gรถsterileri Tรผrkiyeโ€™deki demokrasi gรผรงlerinin ortak รถrgรผtlenme, ortak program altฤฑnda, gรผรง birliฤŸi yapamadฤฑklarฤฑ gibi gรผรงlerini ve eylemlerini senkronize edemedikleri bir pratik daha oldu. Bรผyรผk enerjilerin, aynฤฑ anda, aynฤฑ hedefe yรถneltilememesinden รถtรผrรผ hep otoriter rejimlerin kazanรงlฤฑ รงฤฑktฤฑฤŸฤฑ aรงฤฑk. Hรขlbuki bilinรงli, saฤŸduyulu รถnderlikler despot rejimleri deฤŸiลŸime zorlayabileceฤŸi, dengesini bozabileceฤŸi anlarฤฑ gรถrerek o โ€˜anโ€™larda eylem odaklarฤฑnฤฑ buraya yรถnlendirebilir. Rejimin kฤฑrฤฑlmaya uฤŸramasฤฑyla daha dezavantajlฤฑ gruplarฤฑn kendilerine bir demokrasi ve siyasi manevra aรงฤฑlabileceฤŸini gรถrmeleri รถnemlidir.
โ€˜Tรผrkiyeโ€™nin demokrasisinden bize ne?โ€™
Tรผrkiyeโ€™nin metropollerinde, sahil kentlerinde yoฤŸunlaลŸan; modernist, sekรผler kesimlerin sฤฑkฤฑ sฤฑkฤฑya sarฤฑldฤฑklarฤฑ Tรผrklรผk ลŸovenizmi ve Kemalist elitizmin, kendilerinden daha ilerici, devrimci, demokratik taleplerin savunucusu olan Kรผrt ulusal hareketi ve sosyalistleri dฤฑลŸladฤฑkรงa (bu konuda demokrat ve รถzgรผrlรผkรงรผ bir yapฤฑya sahip olmadฤฑkรงa) otokrat siyasal ฤฐslamcฤฑ iktidara karลŸฤฑ baลŸarฤฑ ลŸanslarฤฑ olamayacaฤŸฤฑnฤฑ anlamalarฤฑ zor gรถrรผnรผyor. Demokrasi mรผcadelesinin temel sorunlarฤฑndan biri budur.
โ€œTemel hak ve รถzgรผrlรผkler istiyoruz ama Kรผrtler hariรง!โ€ diyerek bir รงฤฑkฤฑลŸ yolu bulunamayacaฤŸฤฑ aรงฤฑk. Bu dฤฑลŸlayฤฑcฤฑ kibir, bu tarafta da yankฤฑsฤฑnฤฑ buluyor; Tรผrkiyeโ€™de gerรงek bir demokrasi mรผcadelesi verilemeyeceฤŸi ve gerรงek bir partner bulunamayacaฤŸฤฑ inancฤฑnฤฑ kรถkleลŸtiriyor, gรผvensizliฤŸi derinleลŸtiriyor.
Bu saflarda tepki gรถsterilmekte haklฤฑ ama strateji ve taktik ilke haline getirmekte ise yanlฤฑลŸ bir yรถnelim var. Son yฤฑllarda Tรผrkiyeโ€™de demokrasi mรผcadelesine โ€œbizi ne ilgilendirir?โ€ diyerek karลŸฤฑ รงฤฑkan ve bunu รงok daha radikal siyasi istemlere sahip olmak adฤฑna savunan kadrolar artฤฑyor. Bunlara gรถre, Kรผrdistan ulusal kurtuluลŸ mรผcadelesinin Tรผrkiyeโ€™deki demokrasi mรผcadelesiyle hiรงbir ilgisi olamaz; โ€œonlarฤฑn demokrasisinden bize ne!โ€ deniyor. Basitรงe bu โ€œizolasyoncuโ€ olmayฤฑ โ€œbaฤŸฤฑmsฤฑzlฤฑkรงฤฑlฤฑkโ€ sanan milliyetรงi bir anlayฤฑลŸtan kaynaklanฤฑrโ€ฆ EฤŸer Tรผrkiyeโ€™nin demokrasi ya da diktatรถrlรผk olup olmamasฤฑ bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa, mantฤฑk olarak onun iลŸgalci, sรถmรผrgeci olmasฤฑ da bizi ilgilendirmez demektir. Sรถmรผrgeci, iลŸgalci, diktatรถr, vs. bir nitelik bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa neden bu niteliฤŸi taลŸฤฑyanla mรผcadele ediyoruz ki!?
Kรผrdistan ulusal kurtuluลŸ mรผcadelesi รถnรผne ister baฤŸฤฑmsฤฑzlฤฑฤŸฤฑ, ister รถzerkliฤŸi isterse sadece dil ve kรผltรผrel haklarฤฑn tanฤฑnmasฤฑ hedeflerini koysun, giriลŸtiฤŸi her mรผcadele ister istemez onu genel anlamda demokrasi mรผcadelesinin aktif bir parรงasฤฑ haline getirir. Bunu anlamayan kiลŸi ve hareketler kendi iddialarฤฑna yabancฤฑlaลŸmฤฑลŸ demektir.
Kรผrdistan diyelim ki baฤŸฤฑmsฤฑz olduฤŸunda รผlkesinin sฤฑnฤฑrlarฤฑnฤฑ kapatฤฑp, topraฤŸฤฑnฤฑ alarak gรถkyรผzรผne yรผkselecek deฤŸildir. Yine bu coฤŸrafyada, bir zamanlar kendileriyle รถlรผmรผne savaลŸtฤฑฤŸฤฑ devletlerle, toplumlarla yan yana -en azฤฑndan komลŸu- olarak yaลŸayacaktฤฑr. Ticaret yollarฤฑnฤฑ, havayฤฑ hatta sularฤฑ bile kullanmak iรงin komลŸularฤฑyla iyi geรงinmek, onlarla anlaลŸmak, ortak bir รงรถzรผm bulmak zorunda olacaktฤฑr. Bu รผlkelerde demokratik, insan haklarฤฑna, รถzgรผrlรผklerine sahip yรถnetimler olmasฤฑnฤฑ mฤฑ yoksa despot, savaลŸa ve saldฤฑrฤฑya hazฤฑr dรผลŸman yรถnetimler olmasฤฑnฤฑ mฤฑ isteriz?

I am doing the data recovery on this now.

Laptop had Bitlocker enabled. I had to talk the laptop owner through how to access the Bitlocker key in his Microsoft account.

Thankfully the recovery key worked to unlock it. Turning Bitlocker off now.

The screen was damaged on this XPS laptop. I just have the internal screen cable unplugged and am using a Dell Thunderbolt dock to view with an external screen.

This Dell XPS only has USB-C form factor Thunderbolt ports, no regular USB ports or even an HDMI.

Today I will be attempting a data recovery from a Dell XPS laptop that was dropped and no longer has proper display output to the laptop screen.

To anyone thinking about getting an Dell XPS, I recommend that you don't. The extra cost premium is not worth what you actually get as I think Dell makes a lot of poor design decisions with the XPS line that look "premium" but are really problematic.

That's my opinion on the XPS series. The Latitude line is much more reliable, if you want to go with a laptop from Dell.

I am okay with disk encryption if the owner of the device enables it themselves and understands at least a little bit about it.

Microsoft enabling it on people's computers without their knowledge is really scummy.

I have full disk encryption on my ThinkPad laptop with Linux and I'm okay with that... because I set it up and I know about it.

And yes, laptops with only USB-C are no fun. And also that so many different technologies use the same port. Sometimes the port has DisplayPort, sometimes Thunderbolt, sometimes not.

it is absolutely worth the tradeoff for some people. But it _is_ a tradeoff. I often see it pushed as though it has no downsides. It has _massive_ downsides. It is a major risk. I know a lot of security stalwarts would rather loose their files than see them fall into the wrong hands. Fair enough. But for most people, it's just not worth loosing their baby pictures. (Especially when they're probably just gonna post them on Facebook anyway)

Recap | Israel Strikes Iran: Nuclear Sites Hit, Top Commanders Killed, Expected Iranian Crushing Retaliation #Palestine qudsnen.co/recap-israel-strikeโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ“ข Scott Ritter: Attack on Iran was a joint US-Israeli deceptive strike

๐Ÿง  Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter makes serious accusations:

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ "Israel and the US planned this attack together. The Iranians were lulled into a false sense of security by the US promise to focus on negotiations."

๐Ÿ’ฅ The attack hit Iranian leaders directly in their homes - had they been alerted, they would have sought shelter in bunkers.

๐Ÿงพ According to Ritter:

The strike was coordinated by the US State & Defence Departments.

There was full American complicity.

The goal was to sabotage negotiations and achieve maximum destruction through surprise.

๐Ÿ“‰ "This was not a legitimate diplomatic process, but a decapitation strike against a deceived negotiating partner."

๐Ÿ”š "Without Washington's active deception, this attack could never have taken place."

We have the wrong people in all the key positions where expertise is needed to guide the world through this incredibly volatile time to prevent WWIII.

I was afraid that we would find ourselves here, with a highly pathogenic influenza pandemic on our hands, but, the one expertise Trump has always had is to make any situation worse, and gods love them, the Middle East is winning the race to be Trump's existential disaster.
