bored

In conventional usage, boredom is an emotional and occasionally psychological state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, is not interested in their surroundings, or feels that a day or period is dull or tedious. It is also understood by scholars as a modern phenomenon which has a cultural dimension. "There is no universally accepted definition of boredom. But whatever it is, researchers argue, it is not simply another name for depression or apathy. It seems to be a specific mental state that people find unpleasant—a lack of stimulation that leaves them craving relief, with a host of behavioural, medical and social consequences."[1] According to BBC News, boredom "...can be a dangerous and disruptive state of mind that damages your health"; yet research "...suggest[s] that without boredom we couldn't achieve our creative feats."[2]

In Experience Without Qualities: Boredom and Modernity, Elizabeth Goodstein traces the modern discourse on boredom through literary, philosophical, and sociological texts to find that as "a discursively articulated phenomenon...boredom is at once objective and subjective, emotion and intellectualization—not just a response to the modern world but also a historically constituted strategy for coping with its discontents."[3] In both conceptions, boredom has to do fundamentally with an experience of time and problems of meaning.

    According to a stranger on the internet (me) boredom is being bored, in other words, boredom is bored, or in other other words, being bored is being bored, but how could you prevent this? Well there’s no choice, everything must come to a end at some point, everything will get boring, there’s no choice until we could manually hack our own brains, everybody in the community will either quit since their busy or quit because their bored, both of these ways are probably not preventable if they have work or school or anything else, nobody could play this game for 80 years right now they’d be uhh... sleeping for a super long time, aka EXTREME HYBERNATION, anyways, there’s probably enough content on the internet... until it doesn’t exist anymore, well if it doesn’t exist, you might as well be bored, what else is there? As I said everything will come to a end, the universe and all of us included, we can’t stop it.

    Why did I make a whole paragraph of words for no reason and why did I just include meaningless things in there?

    The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,600 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976.[6] Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are being built for export customers.[7] In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation,[8] which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.[9]

    The Fighting Falcon's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, an ejection seat reclined 30 degrees from vertical to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system which helps to make it an agile aircraft. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots and crews, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as well as the Colonial Viper starfighter on Battlestar Galactica which aired at the time the F-16 entered service.[10][11]

    In addition to active duty in the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the USAF aerial demonstration team, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. The F-16 has also been procured to serve in the air forces of 25 other nations.[12] As of 2015, it is the world's most numerous fixed-wing aircraft in military service.[13]
