I did a tryout session at a pop choir tonight! Mixed feelings; singing was nice, teacher was very good, welcoming atmosphere.
But geez. Large group, in a small space, close together, I don't like!! 😅 both covid-wise and in terms of social overstimulation.. so tired afterwards 😩
Another thing that I had already noticed in the previous singing class.. and I guess it's in the nature of these things, but they separate the group into men and women, I get placed among the men, and so then when the teacher addresses your subgroups you get auto-misgendered constantly lol (I'm fine with "him" pronouns, but it's being called a man that I don't vibe with somehow.. or "sir" ("meneer") even worse lol)
I understand, it's the voice.. it's how it works in choirs, pragmatically. But it puts me off! 👩🏼🦱
Also socially it's weird.. the women largely basically ignore the men and the other way around, and the guys were all chummy with me as a potential new member, and I know they mean well, but I don't feel comfortable around them so much as I feel around women, and arghh!
It feels just odd to me that this is how society works I guess! at least in some groups..
With painting class, this wasn't a thing at all! So I guess it depends per groups/subculture!
gendering these activities is so strange. if society deems there is a "truth" to such stereotypes, why bring gender into it at all? you could just place people based on their vocal range. i make the same point for sports. like boxing has weight classes. why not just do the same for all sports? anyways what do i know, just seems like it makes more sense to me. sorry you had to go through that 🙁
well, in a way that's what happens in singing classes/choirs - you get for example 2 or 3 sections from low to high.
most men have lower voices, so usually it's a bass section with men, and then the other section/sections are women.
BUT! I do have a bit higher voice than most men, and I love to be singing at a range more on the high end or what I can reach, than the low end. so I bet I could do just fine in the middle section, which was all women in this group.
but I wasn't asked or anything, you kinda just get told, oh hi you're a guy so we other guys will sit next to you and we'll be the bass section! and I'm not really someone to want to put the attention on me and tell them I want to sing with the higher group 😅
and even if I did.. it's just weird to me that kinda "automatically" when you are new, the guys are all diving on you like "OH HI FELLOW BRO DUDE! WELCOME TO THE GUYS SECTION! WE'RE VERY MALE!", while the women say hi to me but otherwise kinda hang together and semi-ignore me because then men had already soaked me up in their clique! 😅 🤣

Mac is actually nice to use though... My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.
As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself "why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?" over and over while working on her machine.
Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn't already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.
First thing I noticed about this photo is that she's keeping her hair away from the ground but putting her lips right on it. I'm not sure why but that seemed funny to me.
I know this is an older thread but I don't know why you're getting down voted. I am long haired and always move my hair out of the way bending over and whatnot. I love long hair but I don't like it getting in my eyes or tickling my nose so it becomes habit to hold it out the way of my face.

bought one of the new snapdragon x elite laptops refurbished recently. obviously it came with windows 11 and i had to briefly use it to shrink the boot partition and disable bitlocker so i could install the ubuntu concept image on it.
The amount of advertising i was subjected to in that time was infuriating. not to mention the frankly arduous setup wizard.
Even with the slight bugginess of a "concept image" OS, the user experience is SOOOO much better than shitty horrible windows.

Ok, I acknowledge that the people with the blue brainworms are a threat, hold stupid beliefs and shouldn’t be trusted with power.
At some point I think it might also be valuable to discuss the red brainworms, and that arguing about which type of brainworms are better might not be the best use of our time.

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

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

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

I sincerely don’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. It’s just stupid unconditional hatred from people thinking they have found a scapegoat for everything wrong in their civilization.
@DrFell I mean Israel sends missiles at supposed nuclear sites and so then Arab Muslims send missiles at random civilian buildings and they all gather to watch it and cheer.
It’s been this way for centuries and they think they shouldn’t be treated this way.
@DrFell no. It’s designed completely to be martyrdom, especially as they put their jihadists under hospitals and purposefully provoke Israel in October hoping for Israel to murder them back. But the retaliation from Iran is something different…. Whatever.

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

What if we could have officially had a world without wars between countries decades ago but they wanted to have an excuse to tax people for wars to ensure a 40 hour work week for property tax payers
Egyptian authorities detained and deported foreign activists en route to the Global March to Gaza, amid new travel restrictions and checkpoints near the Rafah border crossing.
strange how israel is currently engaged in hostilities with iran, lebanon, syria, and palestine and (maybe?) iraq. they may need to re-evaluate their own foreign policy
Israeli media say the Tel Aviv regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been taken to an unknown location, possibly Greece, following strikes against Iran.
ICE tear gasses toddler & infant in car. The children are American citizens. ICE then fled when people on the streets gathered because of the screaming babies.
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.

00:00 Intro 00:27 Sponsor: 10% off your website with Squarespace 01:22 Form Factor & Build Quality 03:57 Specs and Configuration Options 05:38 Performance Benchmarks 07:53 Aquaris: external watercooling 09:42 Battery life 10:30 Mechanical keyboard 12:44 Display 13:28 Port selection 14:30 Mic, webcam and speakers 15:31 Price and conclusions 16:56 Support the channel
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 °C 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.
My friend caught an Ide which weighed 1.6kg (3.527 lbs) and I caught a Perch which weighed 0.725 kg (1.598 lbs) on the fishing trip yesterday. Both caught using soft baits and this season personal records! Beautiful evening now when the midnight sun has arrived. #fishing #Sweden
"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: I’m going under and this time I fear there’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 It’s easy to say but it’s never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’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’m going under and this time I fear there’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 It’s easy to say but it’s never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’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 you’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 you’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

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

A parliamentary delegation from the People's Republic of China, led by Zhang Qingwei, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Üniversite öğrencileri Saraçhane direnişinde… Son üç ay içerisinde Türkiye’de belki de mevcut rejimin kaderini değiştirecek iki önemli gelişme yaşandı. Ve demokrasi mücadelesi tarihimizde çoğu kez rastladığımız gibi bu vektörler yan yana değil birbiriyle kesişerek ilerleme eğilimi gösterdi. Bunlardan biri, MHP lideri Devlet Bahçeli’nin çağrısıyla yeniden gündemleşen Kürt sorununun barışçıl çözüm süreci; diğeri ise, CHP’nin kazanma ihtimali en yüksek görülen müstakbel Cumhurbaşkanı adayı ve İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun bir sürü yolsuzluk ve teröre destek gibi suçlamalarla tutuklanmasıydı. Birbirine taban tabana zıt olan bu iki hamle Erdoğan ekibinin gerçekte ne yapmak istediğini sorduruyor. Bir yandan sürekli şeytanlaştırılan HDP/DEM parti geleneği ve “değişmez düşman” olan Kürt ulusal demokratik hareketiyle belli belirsiz de olsa bir barış kapısı aralarken; Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurucu ana muhalefet partisine, onun cumhurbaşkanı adayına ve ülkenin en büyük metropolüne girişilen bu darbe bir arada nasıl yorumlanabilir? Akla gelen ilk şey, bu saldırı karşısında Kürt özgürlük hareketini ve bağlaşığı olan demokrasi güçlerinin atıl kalmasını sağlamak gibi bir planın düşünülmüş olabileceğidir. Kürt ulusal muhalefeti bir çözüm fırsatı ortaya çıkmışken bunu heba etmek istemeyecek, iktidara karşı bir tepki vermekten kaçınacak, böylece hem mevcut, hem de olası ittifaklar kırılmış olacaktı. Benim görüşüm, Erdoğan rejiminin ne pahasına olursa olsun siyasi iktidarını korumaya odaklı olmakla birlikte; bu aşamada yaptığı hamlelerin koordineden uzak, stratejik bir akıldan yoksun olarak can havliyle yapıldığı; belki de çeşitli ekipler tarafından kotarılan bu koordinasyonsuz hamlelerin birbirini anlamsız hale getirdiğidir. İktidar erkinde açıkça çok başlılık ve telaş gözleniyor: bu telaş öyle veya böyle iktidarlarının sonuna geldiği ve eğer iktidar değişirse şimdiye kadarki devasa kazanımların nasıl korunacağı gibi yakıcı sorunlardan kaynaklanıyor. İktidarın iki hamlesinin koordinesiz olabileceğine dair düşüncemi destekleyen şey, Öcalan’a yapılan çağrının Devlet Bahçeli’den gelmesidir. Bu hamle asıl olarak Ortadoğu’da yeni ve Türkiye açısından tehlikeli statükolar oluşurken Kürt dinamiğini yanına alarak bir duruş göstermeyi temel alıyor. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti devleti açısından uluslararası boyutu olan stratejik bir varlık sorunu olarak gözüküyor. Böyle bir süreçte yıllarca baş düşman bellenmiş PKK hareketiyle bir uzlaşma ararken; devletin kurucu partisi ve her koşulda sadık Türk milliyetçisi CHP kitlesini küstürüp dışlamak, düşmanlaştırmak herhalde bu akılla ters bir durum olurdu. İmamoğlu operasyonu ise belli ki Bahçeli tasarımının amaç ve hedeflerinden tamamen uzakta, sadece Erdoğan’ın sonraki başkanlık seçimlerindeki en güçlü adayını tasfiye etmeye, CHP’ye karşı sindirme ve güç gösterisine yönelik kısa ve orta vadeyle düşünülmüş bir hamle. Eğer illa bir koordineden bahsedeceksek, bunun “çözüm süreci”ni özellikle baltalamak için kotarılmış bir kışkırtma olduğunu söylemek daha anlamlı olur. Belki de bir tarafın kurmayları Behçeli projesini sadece muhalefet güçlerinin ittifaklarını parçalamak için bir fırsat olarak gördüler. Göremedikleri şey ise bunun CHP kitlesini ayaklandıran bir toplumsal dinamizme yol açmasıydı. Bir başka ihtimal de her iki hamlenin de muhalefeti, sonraki dönem için belli pazarlıklara zorlamak amacıyla imal edilen araçlar olması; Birisi havuç, diğeri sopa olarak!.. Demokrasi güçlerinin önceliği; haklar mı çıkarlar mı? Türkiye’de çok kolay bulunmasa da eksiği gediği çok fazla da olsa yine de en umutsuz zamanlarda ortaya çıkan bir demokrasi dinamizminin var olduğu, 19 Mart operasyonları sonrasında İstanbul Saraçhane’de başlayıp haftalarca süren, ülkenin pek çok yerine yayılan kitlesel protesto gösterilerinde bir kez daha görüldü. Bunu 2013’de patlak veren “Gezi protestoları” dönemindeki coşkuyla kıyaslayabiliriz. Bu kez de üniversite gençliğinin öncülüğü ile başladı ve ama sadece bununla kalmayıp yerinden çok zor kalkan CHP kitlesinin de harekete geçmesini sağladı. CHP yönetiminin geleneksel olarak kitle hareketlerinden kaçınma ve onları barajlama yerine bu kez onları dikkate almak zorunda kalması, bu sürecin ayırt edici özelliklerinden biri oldu. Değerli felsefecilerimizden İoanna Kuçuradi, “hak” ile “çıkar” arasında fark olduğuna dikkat çeker: “Çıkar, hakkımızdan biraz fazlasıdır; bu da başkasının hakkını ihlal edebilen bir şeydir.” Dolayısıyla “hak çatışması” olmaz ama “çıkar çatışması” çok görülür… Buradan hareketle can alıcı sorumuz şudur: Demokrasi talep eden gruplar gerçekten haklarını mı savunuyorlar, yoksa çıkarlarını mı? Sadece kendi “hak”larını mı savunuyorlar yoksa diğerlerinin haklarına da saygılılar mı? Hak, özgürlük, demokrasi talebiyle eyleme geçen kitleler homojen değildir. Aralarında çıkar ve talepleri birbirinden farklı sınıflar, tabakalar, çıkar grupları, hatta birbirleriyle çatışmalı mağdur gruplar da bulunabilir. Demokrasi güçleri sadece egemen otorite ile mücadele etmekle kalmaz, kendine dinamizm veren grupların aralarındaki iyi veya kötü ilişkilerle de biçimlenir. Bundandır ki merkezi otorite muhalif katmanlar arasındaki çelişkileri kışkırtmaktan; birbirine karşı kullanmaktan geri durmaz. Demokrasi talep eden gruplar da diğerlerinin gücünden yararlanırken, kendi önceliklerini dayatmaya; daha güçsüz grupları kendilerine tabi kılmaya eğilimli olabilirler. Bir fizik kuralı olarak daha büyük kütle dinamizminin daha küçükleri kendine çekmesi, sosyal mücadeleler için de geçerlidir. Saraçhane gösterileri sürecinde olan da buydu; CHP kitlesi kendilerine yapılan bu haksızlığa karşı korku duvarını aşıp sokağa çıkınca, daha önce hep alanda olan ve hak arayan gruplarla aralarına bir sınır çekme ihtiyacı da hasıl oldu. Çünkü onlar kendilerine haksızlık yapılmasına alışmamışlardı; kendileri diğerleri gibi değildi, memleketin gerçek efendisi idiler; her zaman itilip kakılmış olanlarla bir arada olmamalıydılar! Böylesi bir duyguyla koşullanan en azından bir bölüm Saraçhane kitlesi, Kürt ulusal hareketi başta olmak üzere rejimin hedefindeki diğer bütün mağdur grupları dışlamakta beis görmediler. İşin ilginç yanı, bunu yaptıktan sonra da “onlar niye bizi desteklemiyor, o halde iktidar yanlısılar!” diye bu durumdan ikinci bir çıkar sağlamayı da ihmal etmemeleri… DEM parti ve bileşenleri, bir yandan ortada henüz somut bir şey olmasa da bir çözüm süreci ihtimalinin ortaya çıkmış olma şansını heba etmemek; bir yandan da sürekli mücadelesini verdikleri ve hep mağduru oldukları bir konuda ana muhalefet akımıyla da ilkesel bir dayanışma göstermek ikilemindeydi. Bıçak sırtı bir çizgide, üstelik onlarca kez kazandıkları belediye başkanları tutuklanıp kayyum atanırken kendileriyle hiçbir dayanışma yapılmamış olmasına rağmen soğukkanlı bir duruş göstermeye çalıştılar diyebilirim. Saraçhane gösterileri Türkiye’deki demokrasi güçlerinin ortak örgütlenme, ortak program altında, güç birliği yapamadıkları gibi güçlerini ve eylemlerini senkronize edemedikleri bir pratik daha oldu. Büyük enerjilerin, aynı anda, aynı hedefe yöneltilememesinden ötürü hep otoriter rejimlerin kazançlı çıktığı açık. Hâlbuki bilinçli, sağduyulu önderlikler despot rejimleri değişime zorlayabileceği, dengesini bozabileceği anları görerek o ‘an’larda eylem odaklarını buraya yönlendirebilir. Rejimin kırılmaya uğramasıyla daha dezavantajlı grupların kendilerine bir demokrasi ve siyasi manevra açılabileceğini görmeleri önemlidir. ‘Türkiye’nin demokrasisinden bize ne?’ Türkiye’nin metropollerinde, sahil kentlerinde yoğunlaşan; modernist, seküler kesimlerin sıkı sıkıya sarıldıkları Türklük şovenizmi ve Kemalist elitizmin, kendilerinden daha ilerici, devrimci, demokratik taleplerin savunucusu olan Kürt ulusal hareketi ve sosyalistleri dışladıkça (bu konuda demokrat ve özgürlükçü bir yapıya sahip olmadıkça) otokrat siyasal İslamcı iktidara karşı başarı şansları olamayacağını anlamaları zor görünüyor. Demokrasi mücadelesinin temel sorunlarından biri budur. “Temel hak ve özgürlükler istiyoruz ama Kürtler hariç!” diyerek bir çıkış yolu bulunamayacağı açık. Bu dışlayıcı kibir, bu tarafta da yankısını buluyor; Türkiye’de gerçek bir demokrasi mücadelesi verilemeyeceği ve gerçek bir partner bulunamayacağı inancını kökleştiriyor, güvensizliği derinleştiriyor. Bu saflarda tepki gösterilmekte haklı ama strateji ve taktik ilke haline getirmekte ise yanlış bir yönelim var. Son yıllarda Türkiye’de demokrasi mücadelesine “bizi ne ilgilendirir?” diyerek karşı çıkan ve bunu çok daha radikal siyasi istemlere sahip olmak adına savunan kadrolar artıyor. Bunlara göre, Kürdistan ulusal kurtuluş mücadelesinin Türkiye’deki demokrasi mücadelesiyle hiçbir ilgisi olamaz; “onların demokrasisinden bize ne!” deniyor. Basitçe bu “izolasyoncu” olmayı “bağımsızlıkçılık” sanan milliyetçi bir anlayıştan kaynaklanır… Eğer Türkiye’nin demokrasi ya da diktatörlük olup olmaması bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa, mantık olarak onun işgalci, sömürgeci olması da bizi ilgilendirmez demektir. Sömürgeci, işgalci, diktatör, vs. bir nitelik bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa neden bu niteliği taşıyanla mücadele ediyoruz ki!? Kürdistan ulusal kurtuluş mücadelesi önüne ister bağımsızlığı, ister özerkliği isterse sadece dil ve kültürel hakların tanınması hedeflerini koysun, giriştiği her mücadele ister istemez onu genel anlamda demokrasi mücadelesinin aktif bir parçası haline getirir. Bunu anlamayan kişi ve hareketler kendi iddialarına yabancılaşmış demektir. Kürdistan diyelim ki bağımsız olduğunda ülkesinin sınırlarını kapatıp, toprağını alarak gökyüzüne yükselecek değildir. Yine bu coğrafyada, bir zamanlar kendileriyle ölümüne savaştığı devletlerle, toplumlarla yan yana -en azından komşu- olarak yaşayacaktır. Ticaret yollarını, havayı hatta suları bile kullanmak için komşularıyla iyi geçinmek, onlarla anlaşmak, ortak bir çözüm bulmak zorunda olacaktır. Bu ülkelerde demokratik, insan haklarına, özgürlüklerine sahip yönetimler olmasını mı yoksa despot, savaşa ve saldırıya hazır düşman yönetimler olmasını mı isteriz? Üçüncüsü, Kürdistan’ın dışında da Türkiye’nin çeşitli kentlerinde, metropollerinde milyonlarca Kürt yaşıyor. Artık sadece burada yaşıyorlar, çocuklarının geleceğini burada kuruyorlar. Bu insanlar demokratik bir ülkede yaşamayı hak etmiyorlar mı? İstanbul’da, İzmir’de, Antalya’da yaşayıp “burada olup biten hiçbir şey bizi ilgilendirmiyor!” demek kadar saçma-sapan bir şey olabilir mi? Demokrasi, hak ve özgürlükler mücadelesinin çeşitli handikaplarla boğuşmak zorunda kaldığı bir gerçek. Şu var ki küsmek, darılmak, yorulmakla bu sorunlar çözülmüyor. Akılla, bilinçle, vicdanla, düşünce, kültür ve sanatın gücüyle birbirini etkilemeye dönüştürmeye çalışmak zor ve zahmetli olabilir ama her har halde son fert kalıncaya kadar birbirini öldürmeye çalışmaktan ve sonraki kuşaklara nefret ve savaş mirası bırakmaktan daha zor değil… Çözümsüzlüğün stabilize edilmesi… Bahçeli ve Öcalan tarafından yapılan çağrılarla kapısı aralanan “yeni çözüm süreci” beklentileri, 19 Mart operasyonu ve kitle protestolarının gölgesinde kalmış gibi görünse de; süreci yönlendiren aktörlerin belli bir kararlılık gösterdikleri de bir gerçek. Yine de belli olan şey, hemen her şeyin belirsiz olduğudur. Önceki sürecin yeterince açık, katılımcı olmadığından şikâyet ederken, bu kez arka planda neler olup bittiğini hiç bilmiyoruz. Bazı kulaklara üflenen fısıltılar ve bol bol üretilen spekülasyonlardan başka… İşin aslına bakılırsa, her şeye sıfırdan başlamak yerine epeyce yol kat edilmiş önceki sürecin kesildiği yerden, örneğin “Dolmabahçe Mutabakatı” üzerinden devam edilmesi daha akılcı olurdu. Bu kez de 19 Mart’ta demokrasiye dair var olabilecek beklentileri de darbeleyen saldırılara bakılırsa, iktidarın gerçekten “iyi” bir niyeti görünmüyor. Ortalıkta, temastı, görüştü, pazarlıktı söylentileri pompalanırken, karşılıklı herhangi bir adım atılmadan, güneyde konumlanmış gerilla güçlerine yönelik operasyonlar sürerken hem de, işi sadece “PKK’nin silah bırakması ve örgütü tasfiye” söylemi üzerine kurduğunda bunun bir “teslimiyet” dayatması ve beklentisi olacağı açıktır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, kendi önceli olan birkaç büyük imparatorluğun siyasi hafıza ve geleneklerini taşıyan bir devlettir. Mevcut siyasi kadroların bunu ne kadar sürdürme kabiliyetinde oldukları ayrı bir konu. Bu askeri doktrine göre, devlet halledeceği bir meseleyi -bu işgal edeceği bir bölge, çörekleneceği bir ekonomik/siyasi varlık da olabilir- metal şekillendirme yöntemindeki gibi önce yeteri derecede ısıtır; ısıtılan bu meseleye kendi istediği biçimi verdikten sonra da hemen soğutmaya alır. Böylece istediği sonuç kalıcı hale gelmiş olur. Çünkü o meseleyi aynı yüksek sıcaklık koşullarında ısıtmak ve şekillendirmek diğerleri için mümkün olmayabilir. Örneğin Türkiye sık sık Yunanistan’la arasında Ege denizindeki egemenlik için sık sık bu yola baş vuruyor. Fakat Kürdistan konusunda çok uzun yıllardır devletin bu meseleyi ısıtıp soğutma ve istediği biçimi verme inisyatifi kalmadı. Devlet geleneğinin ikinci taktiği de böyle durumlarda “çözümsüzlüğe” oynamaktır. Buna da örnek, Kıbrıs’ın kuzeyindeki 50 yıldır süren ilhaka rağmen diplomatik ve uluslararası anlamda kabul edilebilir bir çözümünün olmamasıdır. Türkiye, Kürt halkının Ortadoğu’da uluslararası tanınmış, garanti edilmiş bir statüko edinmesini istememektedir. Bunun için içerde ve dışarda, hatta dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki Kürt kazanımlarını kendi meselesi olarak görüp, onu bozmaya, engellemeye çalışmaktadır. İçerde ve dışarda bir türlü bastırılamayan Kürt dinamizmine karşı da “çözümsüzlüğe” oynanmaktadır. Son dönemde Bahçeli eliyle yürütülen sürecin özelliğini, “çözümsüzlüğü stabil/kalıcı” hale getirmek olarak okuyabiliriz. Halk barış ihtimaline bile tutunmak istiyor Doğada olduğu gibi, toplum bilim de hiçbir şeyin yoktan var, varken de yok olmayacağını gösterir. Kürt/Kürdistan sorununu ortaya çıkaran ne Öcalan’dır ne de PKK’dir. Tersine tarihsel olarak böyle siyasal-toplumsal sorun olduğu için, bu sorunun çözümüne cevap olabileceği düşünülen örgütler ortaya çıkar ve taban bulur. Dolayısıyla bu sorun temelde devam ettikçe liderler ve örgütler değişse de sorunun eşit, adil ve kalıcı çözümleri için arayışlar, örgütlenmeler, hareketler devam eder. Halkımız savaşlarla, yıkımlarla, buna rağmen süren çözümsüzlük ortamından çok yoruldu, yıprandı. Somut barış-mutabakat olmasa bile bunun ihtimaline bile tutunmak istiyor. Barışçıl çözümlerin önünü açılmasını bekliyor. Kürdistan sorunu eskiden de şimdi de uluslararası boyutu olan bir sorundur. Bu hem bir imkân hem de bir zorluktur. Hangi biçimde olursa olsun, aynı coğrafyayı paylaştığı toplumlarla, devletlerle ortak bir çözüm bulmak zorunlu olacaktır. Önemli olan bu ortak çözümün adil, özgürlükçü ve tam hak eşitliğine dayanmasıdır. Eğer adil bir çözüm olmazsa, taraflardan biri güçsüz olduğu için buna boyun eğmek zorunda kalsa bile bu ilanihaye sürmez ve belki daha boyutlu şekilde yeniden patlar. O halde çözümün adil olduğu kadar kalıcı ve sürdürülebilir olması da gereklidir. Sorunu sadece Türklerle-Kürtler arasındaki bir konu olarak takdim etmek, Sünni-İslam eksenine dayanmak da son derece yanlıştır. Sorun emperyal despotik bir devleti, Türk ulus devletine dönüştürürken kırıp döktüğü, yakıp yıktığı, ezdiği tüm halkları (Rum, Ermeni, Asuri-Süryani); tüm dinler, tüm etnik kimlikleri (Hıristiyan, Alevi, Ezidi, Yahudi toplumları) da ilgilendirir. Bütün bunların Türkiye’nin hem siyasi, hem toplumsal yapısında çok radikal değişimlere ihtiyaç duyacağı açıktır.
RECEP MARAŞLI Son üç ay içerisinde Türkiye’de belki de mevcut rejimin kaderini değiştirecek iki önemli gelişme yaşandı. Ve demokrasi mücadelesi tarihimizde çoğu kez rastladığımız gibi bu vektörler yan yana değil …

most men have lower voices, so usually it's a bass section with men, and then the other section/sections are women.
BUT! I do have a bit higher voice than most men, and I love to be singing at a range more on the high end or what I can reach, than the low end. so I bet I could do just fine in the middle section, which was all women in this group.
but I wasn't asked or anything, you kinda just get told, oh hi you're a guy so we other guys will sit next to you and we'll be the bass section! and I'm not really someone to want to put the attention on me and tell them I want to sing with the higher group 😅
and even if I did.. it's just weird to me that kinda "automatically" when you are new, the guys are all diving on you like "OH HI FELLOW BRO DUDE! WELCOME TO THE GUYS SECTION! WE'RE VERY MALE!", while the women say hi to me but otherwise kinda hang together and semi-ignore me because then men had already soaked me up in their clique! 😅 🤣
