we shouldn't have to make variables to use blocks as simple as these

Sorry to break this to you, but a timer is a variable.

sorry to break it to you, the timer isn't a variable in the same way something like "my variable' would be

you don't make it, you don't have to do anything to make it appear, it is a constant.
it would be a lot easier to just keep it that way and add a couple of blocks improving the timer

if we removed every block that had a workaround nobody would use the site

Sorry to break it to you, but a constant is a variable that does not change, a timer's whole purpose is to change, and most people when giving a workaround are giving it to the person so that person can implement use the suggested block before the suggestion is added (or never).

<<boolean::grey> and <boolean::grey>>

<<<boolean::grey> = [true]> = <<boolean::grey> = [true]>>

i agree with you, it's like saying we don't need

<<boolean::grey> and <boolean::grey>>

we can use

<<<boolean::grey> = [true]> = <<boolean::grey> = [true]>>

That workaround doesn't work, it is also true for two false values.

<not <<not <boolean::grey>> or <not <boolean::grey>>>

and the message that we're all quoting is in a tone that suggests “hey, here's a workaround. this suggestion bad!”

define timer (type) (start time)
set [timer v] to (start time)
reset timer
repeat until <(timer::variables) < [0]>
set [timer v] to ((start time)-((((2)*<(type)=[countdown]>)-[1])*(timer)))
end
set [timer v] to [0]
