Movies are the excellent stress busters that never let you fall prey to boredom. My first review is going to be for Billions, the new show on Showtime network starring Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti. When it is a show that has just premiered, my first review of that show will always be spoiler-free. That way, I can inform you of the program and let you decide if you want to watch it. Afterward, my reviews and recaps will address spoilers from the show are are meant for readers who are watching the show week by week along with me. Make sense? Cool! Let's talk a little bit about Billions.
At the very beinning of this Forum - I read that our President - Mr. Obama - was called a 'tar baby' - what low life person said that? In Slave Days - black men were tarred and feathered for whatever crime thay may or may not have done. Can you imagine pouring hot tar onto bare skin and then poking white feathers into it? The black man usually ran if possible into the closest body of water to soak the steaming tar from his skin - and mostly it would peel the skin right off or the tar would suffocate him to death. White men at that time in history were slaves of Satan. Here we are in the year of our Lord - Jesus Christ - 2012 - and labels are still being used - and most don't even know what they are referring to. That is so sad.
Con-artists may be trapped in the condition called Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). People with NPD expose a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), They have an unsaturated need for admiration and respect. They lack empathy, believing that all people, (except themselves), get exactly what they deserve in life and thereafter. If they believe in heaven, they believe that they will be one of only a few who will enjoy the privilege of admission.
But users are bothered by all this. On the simplest level, they don't like change, particularly when it results in making their free time more complex and stressful. Facebook was always a lazy person's friend and time waster. Turning into a dashboard designed to increase productivity and relevancy turns it more into, well, work.
It's been a decade since there has been any Star Trek on TV, but that will change when Star Trek: Discovery premieres this month. Boldly going where no Trek has gone before — online streaming — the new series has a new leader on deck, Captain Philippa Georgiou, played by Hong Kong icon Michelle Yeoh.
In high finance in the world, the super-rich can afford to risk their money. Big time rollers, real estate tycoons and magnates, stock market, millions of dollars in bets. Some of them are making huge investments in cash payments, and some of the losses in a row.However, middle-class person just trying to get from day to day, fixed income, risk their money is foolhardy. In fact, if you're like 95% of us will probably watch every dollar that goes to and from your bank account very carefully. For people like us, every dollar figures.
