I was always good at taking tests and a rather fast reader, so I didn't care at that point. What sucked for me was a few years later when I had to write summaries of the "book I read that month" because I had to be writing about the same book for the whole month when I would finish the book like 5 days in, so I was remembering what happened like 6 books ago by the end of the month.

Also unfortunately I then, many years later, learned and realized that the books I was reading were written by a pedophile. one of the series ended with them making a pedo god, and the other one had far too many details and seperate instances of children sexually exploring for a 40+ year old man to be writing about... Now I'm terrified of recommending shit I read or watched as a child because what if I am just not remembering some horrific thing that happens in it.

Same, though I also think that the people testing me did not have the requisite reading comp to make a test... I sure as hell did not get Ender's Game when I first read it, even though I passed the AR test

Ah, I have only ever interacted with them with things that were way bigger than the screw. Which leads into the advantage for people who don't interact with them often: anything flat fits, so if you have a knife, coin, nail file, etc. you can still unscrew them

How are they worse? I've so rarely dealt with them that idk
