1 month later and i still think it is so fucking wack that i let my insecurities and fear of uncertainty push me to blow up an amazing early romantic connect and now there's a good chance this person i grew close with very rapidly can't even be in my life as a friend. still think that is extremely fucking stupid. opinion on that course of action hasn't budged an inch

Paulo Reglus Neves Freire - New General Megathread for the 18th-19th of September 2024
(hexbear.net)
Paulo Freire, born on the 19th of September in 1921, was a Brazilian philosopher and radical pedagogue most known for his 1968 work Pedagogy of the Oppressed. "Language is never neutral."
Paulo was born in Recife, the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Initially affluent, his family experienced hardship during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and Freire's education suffered due to his own experiences with poverty and hunger.
Freire began working as a schoolteacher in the 1940s, beginning to serve as the director of the Pernambuco Department of Education and Culture in 1946. Due to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, where a military dictatorship was put in place with the support of the United States, Paulo Freire was exiled from his home country, an exile that lasted 16 years.
Freire then worked in Chile, until April 1969 when he accepted a temporary position at Harvard University. It was during this period, in 1968, that Freire published his most famous work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed".
In this text, Freire criticizes what he calls the "banking method" of education, wherein a teacher "deposits" knowledge into an empty vessel, the student, or "bank". Instead, Freire calls upon teacher to engage in a more dialog-centric or creative education, one in which the suppressed experiences of the oppressed help create knowledge, fostering a social reality in which the marginalized are humanized.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed has since become the third most cited book in the social sciences, according to Elliott D. Green. As of 2000, the book had sold over 750,000 copies worldwide.
"Manipulation, sloganizing, depositing, regimentation, and prescription cannot be components of revolutionary praxis, precisely because they are the components of the praxis of domination."

Is there a place where I can download all of the emojis at once? Or atleast a quicker way then going one by one through the emoji picker?
My cargo shorts are the garb of an artist, disheveled and prophetic
Cool, my city library has a copy to borrow.

leave the tiny hippos and elephants alone!! 
Canada's got house hippos at least.
We should bring that one out of retirement for AI generated videos.
Trump promising to remove tax on overtime payment when the republican strategy is to greatly increase the number of hours before you qualify for overtime pay is actually kind of a brilliant strategy. I hate that Republicans are very competently evil.
Yeah, I was told about Trump's tax free overtime proposal by two Trump supporting coworkers I have and ist sound great a face value, but there had to be some crazy downside. Didn't know that's something Republicans were planning on doing, but I figured they are only aiming to make it so workers work more hours. Especially in red states with minimum wages that haven't budged in decades.
Same with the no taxes on tips thing too
It's a good simple proposal that appeals to a ton of workers that he probably has no intention of ever following through on
Democrats can't even be bothered to lie about doing something good anymore, they means test their own bullshit proposals that won't happen from the outset
Partial student loan forgiveness up to a certain amount for Pell Grant recipients who own a small business for 5 years in a economically disadvantaged community if they took out the loan when it was raining and applied to have it forgiven when it was sunny and only if mercury is in retrograde and the moon is waning and they completed all their math homework for an entire academic year and their dentist says they always floss
Okay, so, I know that this video speaks to my extremely specific interests, but surely I can't be the only one who's watched Whiterun - A Skyrim Musical ... and uh actually really thought it expressed my feelings about my job, my attempts to make a career in music, and my general dissatisfaction with hellworld?

Look, ok, it's a Skyrim shitpost. But, I feel Sigurd's pain. There must be someone as broken as me out there who cries at the second song, lol.
oboe skyrim shitposts are my lifeblood
thanks for the reply, haha, i was gonna delete the post actually
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
following up on finding a socialist-friendly therapist: reached out to someone who listed herself as having an anti-oppressive intersectional feminist approach. fingers crossed insurance and scheduling shit align.
Good luck, hope they don't just turn out to be a resist lib
Good luck!
just network bro 
You can always tell the least technical person on a technical team because they'll use the gramatically correct form of treating data as a plural noun. If you ever slip up and say "data are" it means the junior analyst in your group just accepted a new job.
felt a wee flicker of communal bonding at my local bars karaoke night...mayhaps i should make this a semi-regular practice. the bummer thing is that going out for drinks is expensive as shiiiiiit
It'd be funny to name a political party "the Serious Party" and then you could be like "I'm the only Serious candidate in this race!" Or during a debate you could be like "You can't be Serious."

Have all hexbears touched a music recording, i.e., a CD, cassette or record? I realized that people who never have are going to be an increasing segment of the population and wondered if any of us are in it.
I'm broke but I have a ton of records and CDs, and a few cassettes. Mostly I record bandcamp albums onto tape.
One of the things that really kills me is, the younger generations have taken to calling all discs "CDs". The Xbox 360 ran on CDs, they used to watch movies on CDs. Those fuckin kids don't know about VCDs, or burning mpeg video to a data CD 
Mostly I record bandcamp albums onto tape.
this is so fucking cool, i remember doing this when i was little, Partner has a tape deck in his car, so I bought him a cassette as a gift one year and he loved it. I wish I had a physical CD player to play my audio CDs (I only have a computer BD drive, which can rip CDs into Jellyfin, or play them with apps, but it's NOT THE SAME), and a tape deck to listen to tapes. But I do have a bunch of records of video game music lol. I even got the Outer Wilds OST on record somehow which is super rare lol. god i should figure out how to get it all set up in my office... listen to records at work, get up to flip them every so often is good because it'll remind me to take breaks ... ok once again you've got me thinking lmao.
Those fuckin kids don't know about VCDs, or burning mpeg video to a data CD
fuck yes, or movies as 2 cds
Yeah I know right??? Also I'd give you one of my CD players if I could. I have a spare single disc and a few changers, Technics and JVC. If you have a good DVD player with face controls they make good CD players too. Your collection sounds based as hell, and yeah you should actually. I know a ton about turntables so I could give advice :3
fuck yes, or movies as 2 cds
Woah did you burn movies in two parts to two CDs? Hardcore.
I'll respond more properly later but I set up my record player again on my crowded desk thanks to your post, v nice. I like watching it spin lol. (I hope there's nothing doxxable in this pic)
I'd have so many records if I was rich
Cassettes of punk/crossover thrash/hardcore/black metal bands have a certain je ne se quoi to them too, the low fidelity adds a little something to some genres
I decided to put my letterboxd instead of my github on my resume, and a recruiter called me back to tell me I'm "scaring the hoes".
Me when I say Blade Runner 2049 is one of the worst films I've ever seen
Damn you must only watch some good ass films
Nah BR2049 is just offensively bad. I was lukewarm on the original BR, it's okay I guess.
Hmm...
Will be watching this space.
