But the universe is also constantly expanding. So the frame of reference becomes obsolete because it's at an entirely different point in space now.

Lmao. You people think CCP will use your data to control you? No way your American government can do the same, right?

That multi line editing sold me on it; not that I'll ever use it. Time to jump ship.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And politicians suck at learning lessons.

Only if every developing country becomes like America.

My favourite episode: White Christmas.

I experienced it once during college. Mine was literally the hair ghost from grudge movie starting inside my window. Wasn't that scared even when i had been in an accident. Can't believe there are some people who experience this shit on a regular basis.

Your statement of what a hero does is more like a protagonist's definition.

Regarding the characteristics of a hero, which you stated, that can also be applied to a villain. A villain can have the same traits except his sense of right and wrong is twisted or flawed. Tragic villains are often born because they were the unheard or defenceless. So now they will become the voice of the unheard.

My definition of a hero is someone who puts their own well-being far below than others'. Someone who will go out of his way to save a stranger whom he has never seen before. Someone who just keeps giving and giving until there's nothing left. A selfless, kind, naive person. Superman is what I'd call a hero.

Luffy isn't one. Yes he has a sense of right and wrong and is kind. But he's selfish. He will beat anyone who stands in his way of achieving his dream. He has multiple times puts his crew in a pinch(because of stupidity) or state of financial ruin(by eating whole rations or spending all their hard earned fortune on parties).

And I've only heard him say I'm not a hero once or twice. But what he does say often is he want to be a pirate King.

Well then you haven't been paying attention. His ideal of a pirate comes from a red haired guy with high values not from those who pillage, kill and steal for fun. And he rarely goes out of his way to help some rando. Every time he has helped someone, it's because he considered them a friend or they helped luffy first out of their kindness. He's just paying back their kindness. If it involves saving a burning Kingdom for a friend who happens to be its princess, then so be it.

Nothing heroic about it. Even villains help their friends. I won't say it's peak fiction. But it's pretty close to it.
