The most downvoted and most upvoted comments, both say the same thing.
People are werid.

I wasn’t confused

You’re missing my point.
Not sure if it’s intentional or not.

All true. But…
Don’t make your online accounts your identity.
They aren’t you. They aren’t real.

The Fediverse should be as ubiquitous as email.
Your ISP, company, government, etc. should all host their own social media, just like they do email.

If they were actually important, you’dve remembered and dealt with them already. Go ahead and close them. You might be suprised when the FoMo goes away after.

I have Vivaldi set to close any tabs older than 3 days.

The Zodiac isn’t real.
If you enjoy reading horoscopes for light entertainment, that’s harmless enough. But under no circumstances should you ever think your “stars” might have any real effect on who you are or what you’re like. “Pisces Sensitivity” isn’t a thing.

Couldn’t each one decide how much to charge and pay for their tokens? Like a swarm of countless centralized currencies, rather than a single decentralized one?

Then you have a central org you need to trust with the money. It’s not really distributed or federated system anymore.

Whatever the term, if the coins can be exchanged back into a real currency or goods, they have real value, and as such they’re as good cash.

Wikipedia:

Pachinko balls won from games cannot be exchanged directly for money in the parlor, nor can they be removed from the premises or exchanged with other parlors. However, they can be legally traded to the parlor for so-called “special prize” tokens (tokushu keihin (特殊景品) [ja]), which can in turn be “sold” for cash to a separate vendor off-premises.

That’s still not going to work without either a blockchain or central trusted management org of some kind.

So if they have real cash value, how do you secure a distributed currency system without a blockchain? How do you stop the creation of fraudulent tokins?

I’m not sure what problem this is trying to solve exactly.
Why not just a simple subscription to your home instance/server?
What would people get from trading these tokins, can they cash them out?
If not blockchain how do you guarantee or secure these tokins being traded across instance/servers?

World building isn’t enough on its own? You can’t just put on the movie and hang out in this place for a while?

That’s probably 20% on the way to what I mean.
It still has a pretty clear describable naritive story. It doesn’t always make sense, and sometimes you don’t know what’s happening. Maybe yah. It’s less story than I remember.

Oh it’s worth seeing! Its extremely well crafted from a filmmaking perspective.

As for what you could do with a sequal?
There are lots of interesting things. What if Mavrick dies saving Goose’s kid, or dies in the first 20 min due to a fuckup by Goose’s kid. Or what if he’s married with a kid himself and refuses to fly in combat again, when he’s forced to completes the mission, but he dies. Those would all be unexpected and interesting stories. There could be even more where he doesn’t die.

Dialog isn’t a requirement of a story. Good Boy has less than a dozen spoken lines in the movie, as it’s from a dogs perspective. But it also has a very clear story and plot. That’s not what I’m talking about. Check out some movies on this list.

There are great movies that can’t even be said to have an actual story at all. Just a collection of scenes that hopefully make you feel something.

For lots of reasons. I enjoy some movies for the story, others for the performances, a few for the world building, some for the concepts, occasionally for making me think about them weeks later, sometimes for the cozy mindless sweetness. And dozens more reasons. I can find reasons to appreciate nearly any movie.

Saying that every movie needs to have this one thing to be good, is the definition of narrow minded.

Movies need to go back to being 90 minutes standard

When was that? When you were a kid?
Kids movies are still 90min.

Top Gun Maverick was no different.
Maybe the most predictable movie I’ve seen in recent years. I was entirely bored (outside the scene of Mavrick proving the run was doable. Those shots through the canyon were fantasic.) But that’s not enough to redeem the rest being wholly unoriginal.
