Then Thanos is the hero of Infinity War?

Hero is just a person who gets people killed.

No. Not in media, not in real life. If someone saves a child that's falling out a window, they're a hero. A hero doesn't have to kill anyone. Batman's a hero, and he doesn't kill people.

That really depends on the Batman we are talking about.

The amount of (apparently) non-green energy he uses with flames belching out of the back of everything from those jet engines... If nothing else his contribution to global warming is killing people.

A lot of the time, the villain is the villain because they're correct about the problem but wrong about the solution. That's why taking their phrases out of context and using them to support an internet argument bothers me. They don't get that the villain is wrong. That's why they're the villain. If they weren't wrong, they wouldn't be called the villain.

That’s the problem, right there! Trying to find a solution. You should be like me. I mean when I comment on enworld, I’m like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one, you know

i just write …. things.

"Hi Tasha, we're regulars at Thin Crust Joe's, but he recommended we come talk to you - he seemed grumpy. We had a discussion and came to a group decision that we'd like you to expand your menu and add tostadas and pasta. Thanks for being a team player, unlike Joe, and doing this for us."

Kind of?

I love digital! Don't get me wrong. Right now ... you can access more STUFF than ever before.

But we also don't have a great track record with digital media. There are a lot of issues- with rights holders being able to control what we access. With different storefront or companies disappearing or going out of business (so all the "stuff" you purchased is no longer accessible ... unless you buy it again). With an unproven track record of durability ... I mean, say what you will about books and the inability for everyone to get hold of what they want, but we also know that they have lasted a while.

I understand the concerns.

The only really solid things are books. I have vinyl records and cds, but using these is dependent on having access to specific devices. I'm not even sure I have a way to listen to CDs or cassettes in my house right now. Similarly, I had a hard drive crash recently, and needed to transfer some files from some old external hard drives. Even though these were all purchased within the past 10 years, a) one had failed despite only sitting in a closet and b) all of them had outdated ports (firewire, thunderbolt, etc). Same with videogames.
