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'Γ©tat, 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."

Paulo Freire

New edict: Anyone who has been sexually harassed from a passing car will be issued a free M72 LAW disposable light anti-tank rocket launcher. Distance and mobility no longer provide impunity

Rode 28 miles today family-guy-death-pose

The handlebar tape is starting to look gross. White was a mistake. Makes it look like the thing actually gets use though. Gonna have a big blister on my left hand, but at least my head didn't bounce off of any sidewalks today. Forgot to tape a banana to the top tube. I think the energy would have really helped in the last couple of miles.

The democrats continue to use the words "authoritarian" and "authoritarianism" but when they do - they scrupulously avoid mentioning Trump, the GOP, ICE or anything by name. The dems masterful messaging means American stop paying attention. All this very vague, pointless authoritarian jibber-jabber puts them to sleep. Right now the dems are already at an historically low level of popularity yet the number goes even lower.

It's a bit idea but I think it's already actually happening.

Just played a little bit of a early access game called Jump Space, any of y'all looking for a co-op space game might find it fun. It's 1-4 player co-op where you have a hangar as a base in between missions, where you select stuff on a galactic map kinda like Helldivers, different missions like salvage runs or raiding cargo ships or whatnot.

Then you all get into a ship and take off, one person flying while the rest can run around or man various stations. The pilot can see your silhouettes as you run around inside the ship, which is kinda cool. The others will have various tasks like putting out fires, recharging ablative shielding with craftable armor kits, trying to pry off explosive mines if they latch on to the ship, stuff like that.

There's a lot of on-foot sections where you basically eject from your ship through a tube (or use an air lock, but like, why not just use the tube dawg) and then fly over to a platform or asteroid or something and fight robots and collect materials and what-not. It seems like there's kind of a loot system since you'll find crates with guns and such that I assume have different qualities since Mk1 implies the presence of a Mk2 etc

The plot is basically galactic humanity is on the losing end of a Butlerian Jihad where a computer virus corrupted all machinery and they've gotten very close to wiping out all human life. But then you crash on an asteroid and find an old busted up ship with an AI helmsman core inside of it that claims to be uncorrupted and, through dialogue, implies itself to be extremely ancient (it ponders whether humanity's technological regression has made them vulnerable to this virus, which it also implies it's seen before)

idk I've only done one mission loop with my partner and now she's gotta go do a thing but aside from MAKING ME FUCKING DIZZY it seems like a fun game some of y'all might like

Lol the new guy quit after one day on the job.

based and fuck this shit pilled

the people they keep hiring at my job to do the pizza station keep doing that and tbh i don't really get it because on the tier list of shitty jobs I've had it definitely beats any retail work at least, it's just hot over by that oven (but you can like walk away, just hit da bricks)

Manchild landlord always listens to Tim Pool (we have no emotes?) I catch little snippets as I walk past sometimes, HE'S STILL TALKING ABOUT KIRK LITERALLY EVERY TIME I HEAR HIS VOICE.

Is it just the fact that he's a zero talent hack with zero original thoughts and too lazy to do any kind of prep work, research or independent learning? Or are they really STILL trying to squeeze juice out of it?

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 6 points 6 hours ago

they're trying to make him MLK but for racism.

Thinking as much as I want some certifications for hvac I probably just need to rework my resume and learn some things on my own. I guess it will help speed things up on my end but goddamn it I just want a good job. I feel like I had a solid foundation down and my studying is helping but if I can't get past the application process then idk.

both of my jobs today resulted in weird cancellations.

first one was an old guy who didn't want to put the last four digits of his social into the website to confirm his identity. he said he didn't want to give them his social, but like... they already have your social if they're using it to verify your identity, dude! it's literally the government, they're the ones that gave you the social in the first place!

second one was a customer who apparently got called by the company and told that I had cancelled, then when I called the company they said they had no idea why that happened cuz the job was still open. so now I think it was the customer that was trying to cancel and just lied to me about it.

uhhh anyway I should still get (mostly) paid but shit like this makes me nervous. one of the worst things is to be broke and trying to go to bat with some company to get the money they owe you

Finding out your partner was using AI to text you would feel more hurtful than getting cheated on.
