These lawless hits are outside of the our jurisdiction, so anyone involved could likely be charged in the future by United Nations, etc?

My sis just made me realize that like we used to hang out at the mall in the 1980s and 1990s, Tik Tok is essentially becoming a digital mall where the youth "hang out". They'll goof off, buy random stuff, etc. Very interesting pivot for the company.

So surreal Oppenheimer botched the Trinity nuclear test scene. Also nonstop hyper-edit jump cuts or the fact by the end of the film you know nothing about the main character
