@basedbagel checking the news at most takes a few hours if you have a lot of sources and read the articles/rumor mill. Takes maybe an hour max if you just read headlines. Self control and internet addiction is more my issue. I guarantee if you take time off and something major happens, you'll hear about it. And if it doesn't you won't. Any time I "take time off" it's like nothing happened. Vacations from retardland is healthy.
