why are we (humans) retards?

[theoretical_pharmacist]

1. what do i get from spending 18 - 22 tomorrow on reading my education/work materials? a lot
2. what do i get from spending it on watching television and browsing the net? absolutely fucking nothing except self-resentment the other day

yet, i'll do the latter 99.99% of the time

so frustrating

wish i knew how to get rid of that feeling that i'm missing out on something by not rotting, tbh. i'd even understand it if it was socializing/spending time with gf, but pointless tv/net consumption is something else

yup i agree i hate it when i mindlessly scroll TT too, but sometimes i feel so so tired to do anything else, & we are definitely missing out haha. a relax day is fine once in a while but not so often
