Nice effort. I'd like to learn a chess myself. I'm getting better at playing games at my own pace but when I tried 5min blitz games I got stomped into the ground doing many blunders and couldn't think clearly.

Don't play blitz as a beginner. The longer the game, the better you can actually think and learn from it. Chess isn't meant to be an RTS.

Indeed. I don't have time to play very long games, though :-). I'm in a pickle.
What time controls would you suggest be good for me?

Try to aim for at least 30 minutes per side. Add increments if you're still ending up in a thoughtless blitz at the end.

That's like saying you shouldn't play baseball unless you want to be a pro or go see a movie unless you plan on becoming a film critic. Chess is deep, so you can choose to dive in. But you don't have to. I know plenty of people who enjoy it at a shallow level (and my strength is very shallow compared to professional players).

For me, chess is about the enjoyment of improvement and the enjoyment of playing.
To say that I'm missing the point, you would first have to show that such work can have a point.

VERY impressive, tiberius. Where did you first learn chess? What method did you use to improve?
