The part of this I don’t like is “they will most likely move on to an easier target.” Like I’m supposed to feel fine about someone else with a less sturdy door getting ripped off?

Change your neighbor’s screws too

Chage everyone’s screws

Mythbusters did this but not exactly on purpose, they put together a door to test how to kick it down and didn’t have the right sized screws so they used the longer ones and even Jamie running at speed had trouble breaking the door with the longer screws

Not only will longer screws keep you safer, they also prevent your door from sagging over time, which leads to scraping or your door not closing properly.

make sure you install longer screws on the hinges too. contractors often cut corners by using whatever they have lying around and s door can be kicked off from the hinge side too. this is especially important with older homes and apartments. depending on the maintenance standards (if there are any), a door that has been repaired or replaced could have mismatched screws.

I think it’s unfair to defend Scarlett Johansson is just “doing her job” when she takes roles not meant for her, she could very easily say no and make known why she did it, Ed Skrein stepped down from the movie Hellboy because the character he was supposed to play was asian, he received online outrage and later claimed he did not know his character was of asian heritage, he made his reasons known, said that by keeping the role the tendency to obscure minorities will continue and dropped the movie; after that, the studio could do nothing more but cast an asian actor to play an asian character. Actors can reject roles and do a lot, they only choose not to.
