What the heck are posts like this??? A big foreboding headline and then NOTHING else?
No link, no pic, no nothing.

I use firefox and the image is displayed in the e-mail but nothing in the actual link or on the TBP website. When viewing on my phone, the pictures, twats, etc. all show up.

@BSHJ

If you are browsing in Firefox private browsing mode this can happen. Copy the link location and load it in non-private mode. The problem has to do with blocking tracking cookies (most probably).

Simply put, if you’re viewing the post, and befuddled, the explanation is simple.
If you are incapable/inexperienced enough to recognize the contrasts reflected in the Sagan quote Jim posted regarding our progeny…..

Then YOU are part of the damn problem.

I am befuddled….at not seeing anything but the title
I am incapable….of figuring out what might not be displayed
I am inexperienced….in computer graphics and the workings of various blockers
I am missing……seeing any quote at all
I have no progeny….. (but that is my private matter [pun intended])

Maybe it really is not ME who is part of the ‘damn problem’ (but thanks for the feedback!)

Not sure if the Goo-gull disruption this AM has anything to do with this, but it’s up there now.

If you’re using a web browser that has script blockers you may not see anything but “Image” where the graphic link should be.
Right click mouse to “View Image”. If you’re using a script blocker make sure “theburningplatform.com” is marked as trusted.

The teachers couldn’t answer the kindergarten questions. Jump ahead 12 years & this gets kind of old.

what happens, is children grow up, and become interested in exploring their sexuality, because science can’t solve blue balls

Government day prisons masquerading as educational institutions is what happened. Sadly, far too many private schools follow the same misguided approach to education as the government versions (with Montessori being a notable exception). Thankfully homeschooling, unschooling, and similar “out of the box” approaches to fostering the growth of the developing human brain, are gaining footholds, and the criminal government response to Covid did a lot to further their growth.

”Always Question Authority ” The person in that position is the teacher. Question that one relentlessly. Those smug bastards think that does not apply to them.

My grandson lost interest in school when he told the teacher she had pronounced the river Thames incorrectly. (She made it rhyme with James.). She took offense. I think it was about 6th grade.

The Thames River in New London, Connecticut IS pronounced that way.
Did he live in CT?

I had the opportunity to see many wonderful speakers while at college. The absolute best was Hans Bethe who shed a lot of light on the atomic bomb development.

***No, the Germans were not working on a bomb, the were planning electricity generation because they didnt think a bomb was possible.

Nobody really was worried the earth would burn up when the bomb was detonated.***

By far the worst was Carl Sagan. Instead of grand talk about pursuing dreams and imagination, he was a bitter, self-important, atheist that knew he was approaching the end because of cancer. After 30+ minutes of listening to nothing but attacks on religion and pursuit of the divine we cannot see, I walked out.

The only speaker I ever walked out on.
