You can be sued for a lot of things the US. Whether they win their case against you is a separate question.
Are you aware of a case where someone attempted to vandalize a reinforced mailbox, were injured in the process, sued, and won? Were the claims related to booby trapping? Feels like these sorts of sensational cases frequently become stories that stray pretty far from reality.
And yes, Canada also has laws against booby traps.
Do you have a non-paywalled link?
I am curious who is protesting Barbie. First thought is religious / anti-feminist regressives.
Edit: Oh, gross. This is blowing the actual events out of proportion to lean into Islamaphobia. About ten fundamentalist Muslim assholes protested the screening, which many on the French right-wing are using as justification to hate on all Muslims.
I am using this story to introduce so many colleagues to the concept that maybe labor unions are a good thing. Knowing these workers aren't getting paid while they deal with boarding and all the crap has been an empathetic trigger for so many.
MPDG is wish-fulfillment for the loser male protagonist. MPDG's are one-dimensional and quirky in just such a way to make the messy, aimless, socially inept male lead somehow attractive to them. The male is possibly on the spectrum (more likely just an asshole), the MPDG is void of real personality.
A male protagonist dating a MPDG is like him dating his imaginary friend.
Health issues due to paternal age are a lot more difficult to do genetic testing for compared to issues tied to maternal age. If planning to use his sperm, consider speaking with a genetic counselor and have some serious conversations about what it looks like if you have a baby with certain health issues.
Clooney is 64. That's no mid-life crisis.
It's more that the latest few months of AI-related sci-fi is oversaturated with Commentary^TM^ and Discourse^TM^ on the dangers of LLMs and I'm getting bored with it.
I had known about development of the technology for a couple years before it hit the mainstream. I have been completely unsurprised with how it has gone.
No, I live relatively lean already. 65% would mean cutting down to rice-and-beans type diet, no Internet, no investment into hobbies, no travel.
Also, there's inflation. At 30 years old I could expect to live another 40+ years. And 65% of today's dollars is going to get less and less valuable as the years go on.
I housed a teen for a while and my rules were anything had to be safe and with positive consent. I knew banning sex under my roof was a fools errand.
I also gave permission to use me as "the bad guy". That if they ever were unsure and wanted an excuse, they could say, "ugh, Vanth makes me keep the door open. Lame adult, amiright?" They used that at least once that I know of.
They're an awesome adult now who is far better at having healthy relationships than I was at that age.

My salary and savings increased to where I'll be ok financially if I get fired. I can't fully retire, but would have plenty of time to find another job. The knowledge I'm financially secure really helps when holding onto my internal "this person is an idiot, ignore them".
