That was a thing I struggled with in university, properly allocating time to courses I struggled in instead of what I found interesting at study time

The timer thing is a good idea, I was kind of realizing while it was happening that I got nerd-sniped, but let it happen anyway and got carried away. I think I'll start using timers. I ignore my bedtime timer too often.
It'd be nice if there was a way to have a count-up timer that went off, like how soccer games work. Where there's an end time set, but you can see how much time elapsed. Where you can still add more time, but it adds it to the total.
That way it'd mitigate the thing you talk about where you restart the timer and keep going a 2nd or 3rd time, since you'd still be able to easily add more time, but you'd also see "I already spent 2 hours of my life on this rabbit-hole, i don't want to add any more" and the timer would give you a reality check. That way you avoid the way I treat my alarm clock, where I keep snoozing it when I know I shouldn't, and get to the point where I forgot how many times i snoozed it.
Maybe I'll try and learn how to do this simple idea in an android app, it seems like a good beginner project.
I think spending time on things that flex your brain muscles are worth exploring no matter what, but like a lot of things it comes down to how disruptive it is in your daily life
Since taking a break after being burnt out on school, I started actively trying to learn stuff on my own, get back into my hobbies, and it's pretty fun. Idk how 'useful' it is, but it feels better than vegging out on tiktok like I used to. TFW when it's 4am and you stayed up many hours longer than you intended watching video junk-food.
If the wood wasn't sealed/finished a blind person would probably end up with a splinter
Netanyahu should be in jail for stuff that even the avg Israeli would take issue with (corruption), let alone the genocide stuff that they don't take issue with.
When was she Christian and problematic, other than her very early pre-warped-tour career?
I thought she was one of the types who tried and failed to pander to the gays (like how Meagan Trainer didn't succeed at that either).
What game is this?

our remembrance day is on armistice day for WW1 (Nov 11)
When I was a kid I felt like all the assemblies we had in school or other propaganda thing around it were around WW1, because it was a war that Canada conscripted for and the first time Canada sent its own army somewhere (instead of just being under the British).
Because everyone in WW1 is definitely dead, and the WW2 people are dying off, I feel like it's shifted towards all the wars we were clearly bad in (Korea, supporting Vietnam, modern Afghanistan).
I hate this "fighting for our freedom" shit, it's much like America's version of army support, except more lib and smug because we usually say "we were peacekeeping everywhere". Even though we supported the invasion of Vietnam, and mostly go along with whatever the USA does
The man who says pornography is a Jewish scam or whatever.
I hope his kids turn out not fucked up, but who knows.
Damn, these F1 drivers are stupid. If that were me I'd simply turn the wheel left on a left-corner
the non-aligned movement (which Tito was important in founding) brought some random countries together.
why even add 'Target' to this graph, rule one of manufacturing consent is false dichotomies and narrowing the discourse.
I'm slowly getting over that.
The key is everyone forgets what they learn, it's just easier to re-learn it when you want to if you "should" know it. Also no shame in working through someone else's solution instead of doing your own from scratch.
Compare it to something physical, like learning an instrument, or doing physical activity like weightlifting or running. Yeah you're not at your peak ability if you took a long break, but you can definitely get back up to speed if you want.
