Could be, but everyone's opinion of what's boring is different.
Have you ever had to watch an American Football match? Besides very little actual foot on ball action (it was more like rugby but with lots of padding, fair enough, but at least change the name so it's not so misleading), they kept constantly stopping every 30 seconds or so to have a little meeting, and for their like... 3 or 4 referees to have a chat and move some flagpoles around.
It was SOOOOO boring! It went on for HOURS because they constantly would stop for little meetings, interrupting the flow of the action every time it started to maybe get slightly interesting.
The only saving grace was that the weather was nice, there was an easily accessible bar, and in the field behind the pitch there was a local radio controlled aircraft event, so while the players were milling about not playing - which again was so very boring and frequent - I could watch the cool remote controlled planes and stuff and have a pint.
Anyway, my point is, one person's ultimate excitement is another person's ultimate bore-fest.
If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn't. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it's free to do that, at least.
I just don't have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I'd build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(
I feel like it's less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It's still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.
Aren't Nike kinda known these days for being cheaply made crap that just tries to lure in people who care more about looking cool than having truly functional shoes for sports, etc?
Posers, as the saying goes.
It's not something I'm into though so maybe I'm a bit wrong!
But the big headlines today are the Americans bombing Iranian ships, today?
Funny looking cease-fire.
That said, even a real cease-fire doesn't mean the two nations aren't at war. It's a cease-fire, not a peace deal. There still exists a state of war between them which can (and has, in this case) returned to active conflict.
The USA is at war with Iran, whether they like it or not.
lol, this was on when I was growing up and I, along with a great many of my peers, were rolling with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, etc, because the teachers and adults around us didn't know shit about mental health, and didn't help any of us.
Have we reached the point now for my generation that younger people assume those times were better, where people were magically wiser etc, and where older people have rose tinted glasses and start telling the youth how much more mentally healthy everyone was, etc?
People were people then just like they are now. People had mental health problems then just like they do now. It wasn't heaven on Earth, it was just a few decades ago, that's all.
My first question would be who are these middle east eye lot, not a news outfit I'd heard of. Wikipedia has this to say, for what it's worth:
Middle East Eye (MEE) is a United Kingdom-based media website and channel that primarily focuses on news related to the Middle East, North Africa, and the broader Muslim world. Though the organisation denies it and will not disclose its funding sources, it is widely believed that the organisation is funded by the government of Qatar.
