I mined Monero for three days—logging 40 hours of intermittent mining—and ended up with 0.000106 Monero; it feels like I might as well not have mined at all.

Mining hasn't been profitable in years. Even with a larger hashrate you're going to be spending more on electricity than you'll recieve from mining. If you hodl long enough XMR price will increase enough to cover costs, otherwise mining is for idealogues who want a healthy network.
@bulletbill22 I feel like I might as well just let the computer run Monero mining whenever it's idle; there's no harm in it. Since the PC is on all the time anyway, I can earn a little something during downtime—every bit helps.

This is unfortunately the reality of mining Monero. It's better to leave mining on in the background as a lottery ticket with solo mining unless you already have invested in a nice CPU.
I always try to mine when my computer is running. It might not be a lot of hashrate but it helps the network and that's what matters to me.
