I do somewhat, but prefer my laptop. I think it would be helpful to be able to print or otherwise have a physical textbook, but my uni doesn't have a printer for us to use and we all know physical texts are crazy expensive.

For my phone, I use the NaturalReader app. Its text to speech, but you can highlight and annotate the text as well. If you tap on a word, it'll highlight the whole sentence so you don't have to do the tedious drag-to-highlight thing. Not sure what it does with graphics, however. In that case I'd try out Zotero for mobile. Not sure how great the app is on the phone but I like it a lot in my laptop.

That just happened to me as I was going to try a new app because I've barely been able to interact with lemmy.ml at all the last week due to what seem like bugs. So hopefully it'll be a short lived issue

First of all, bless you for having that mindset. I couldn't possibly understand getting upset that you'd want to return the favor, or that you wanting to please her as well means that you didnt enjoy it.

Do you offer because you're turned on and genuinely want to make her feel good, or is your offer more based in the tit for tat mentality? Maybe it feels transactional to her if you always offer right after.

If it does bother her so much, maybe you can talk about it and ask her to request it when she wants it if she doesn't already . Or, instead of offering right after, save it for later and surprise her so that it doesn't seem obligatory, is that is in fact her issue here.

I guess another way to look at this is that you aren't taking anything from her, she's giving it to you, presumably because it makes her happy to please you. That can be satisfying in and of itself for the giver. I think communication about this stuff is key, just keep checking in here and there and enjoy

I WENT ON MY FIRST BIKE PACKING TRIP IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS LAST WEEK! IT WAS SUPER BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER CHALLENGING BUT I FEEL LIKE SUCH A STRONG LIL GUY!!! I TRIED TO CONQUER THE CHAMBERS CLIMB BUT I WAS PUNISHED FOR TRYING!! HERE'S TO TRYING AGAIN AND AGAIN TIL I MAKE IT TO CREST WITHOUT GETTING OFF MY BIKE ONCE!!!

I AM CHALLENGING MYSELF TO RIDE 1000 MILES BY THE END OF THE YEAR!! 929 TO GO!! I AM SCARED!!

Can I ask what happened today and I can try to base any other advice off of that? I think everyone else covered most of the bases; if you think that you haven't learned anything new it could be that the drivers you encountered were shit or actively hate cyclists...it's not unheard of

Watanabe made Samurai Champloo too! True masterpieces. This is super exciting

Hahaha sick I'll try to check them out, so curious about the sound
