      What’s next about that is if they had activity bothered to treat the case seriously and bumbled their paperwork so hard the judge ruled against them.

    I can confirm that the 1984 Threads movie is pretty traumatizing. Not in a horror movie kind of way, in a “this is realistically what would happen in and after a nuclear war, which is the end of everything in the worst way you can imagine” kinda way.

    It’s on youtube.
