I mean in arenas, stalling like that would just waste a whole lot of time and destroy a lot of chances of being in like the top 3

When I feel I'm beaten, I resign.
All of my losses are by resignation. No timeouts, no play-until-mate.
I hate it when one of my brothers resigns because they lost a pawn or something

Never resign? There's a clear middleground. If you're 1000 you should play on in blitz, unless you're down maybe 15 points with no way to mate. I've definitely seen people play on way longer than necessary. Ugh
When you choose a 30 minute game you are committed to it, your opponent can always salvage a draw if you are not careful.
If you’re down in material and you’re on the clock, then you can play for a draw, nothing wrong with that.
Equally there’s plenty of situations where resignation is the dignified thing to do.

I think that I understand when people don't resign because there is still a chance for a stalemate. I think people need to just chill, on both sides of the arguement.

Never give up, even when playing against higher level players like yourself. Sink with your ship like a true captain. That's the only honorable way to go, Japanese Banzai style.
oi

Aren't you supposed to commit seppuku?
play until mate in 1
ok
Same here. Guy just lost his queen and had only one rook and one knight left. I had both rooks and a queen ad well as obviously better positioning. He let the clock run down without resigning....
Is anyone else tired of always seeing resigning threads around here? I've heard both sides of the argument, and I think that when you play a 10-minute rapid game admit to playing the full 20 minutes, no matter what position you are in. Right?
I read that resigning is an act of respect for the other player. It does save you both time. That said, I’ve learned a lot from playing a game through. It’s a tossup. Winding down the clock seems cowardly.

I've drawn games in stalemate when I've been completely lost, that's why you carry on, if your opponent doesn't know how to checkmate then that's their problem, also you do not learn anything if you resign all the time, I think people like you love it when people resign because it means your end games arent up too much.
Point #1 to those sympathetic to OP: If you are playing over the board with classical time controls, you'd have a point. But, regardless of what time controls you have here, you can open another tab on your browser and do something else. You should get an audible sound when it is your turn to move.
Point #2: Pick your poisons carefully. If you don't like people trying to come back from a lost position, consider the following suggestion: 0 minutes + xx seconds for your time controls. You won't have the situation were anyone can run down their clocks on a lost game unless they didn't waste any of your time initially so you sort of owe them some time anyways. FIDE time controls are stupid. But this isn't FIDE. So stop complaining and get a backbone.
Point #3: Save the game by sacrificing a piece to re-equalize.
Point #4: If it wasn't for stalemate, my bullet rating would be under 1,000.
