Yep , standing on a ledge . Right when she sent out miltank I was reminded of Whitney <| sep |> Companies and millionaires are pulling the far right into Plutocracy , and the far left into forms of Socialism . We ' ve had forms of socialism in this country for ages . It ' s what pays for the public schools , among many other things . Enough with the both sides false equivalency bullshit . There ' s no extreme leftists with any real power in the government as bad as even a normal Republican these days . <| sep |> Ebook reading changed the way I read completely . If I think a book I ' m reading alludes to another book I ' ve read , I call that up in my device and search the text with keywords effortlessly , immediately . With paper books , I ' m less likely to do that , as it ' s too much work , I may not be able to find the book , I may not remember where in the book the relevant passage is . If I ' m chatting with someone about a topic that I ' ve read about , I know I can easily search my ebook library and reference and recommend the book , even email a few pages . If a passage or a concept is important , or difficult , I can send it to a txt file with a drag and a tap , and I can open than file on my phone and passively listen to the passage with texttospeech when I commute . Which means I ' m a lot more likely to go back to reuse books I ' ve read . And even on first read of any ebook , I involuntarily try to remember keywords and phrasing that will help me search if I need the materials again , because I keywordsearch my ebook library so regularly , and sometimes I struggle to find what I need and get really frustrated , that search experience trained me to actively process and categorize materials as I read . Highlighting didn ' t used to do much for me in a printed text , sending all the highlighted passages as a text file that I can listen to , edit , review , makes highlighting far more useful . On a tablet , I use apps that allows me to play with items I ' ve highlighted , rearrange them like flashcards , or mindmaps . TLDR ebooks reduced the barrier to reuse materials I ' ve read , so I feel like I own the contents a lot more than with printed books , which give me a vague sense of having read something , but feels impossible to fish out the right book , right chapter , right concept from boxes , under my bed , or worse yet , on loan to a friend , or returned to the library .
