Convenience and just map makers decisions

What direction a map is doesn't matter only which way you are facing, where north really is on the compass, and that you know what way north is on the map

If your map isn't a perfect square area like say a long oval park you can flip it any way to fit regular paper better or maybe it's a face like shape and you want it right-side up for quirky tourist things, or maybe just so the entrance is on top or bottom to somewhere to avoid confusion if it's not perfectly in line with a cardinal direction

You only really want north to be always up when it's large and official Iike states, continents, city's atlas maps, ect also mostly just to avoid confusion

Was there another eligable guy hanging around the castle she was literally locked in?

It's weird to read Beauty and the Beast and say, "you know what's fucked up about that story? She's a gold digger."

Why do people assume their own narrow and brief worldview is the only truth?

If you want to beat middle school kids that just use basic strategy, try “kayak” and thank me later. Usually takes them so many guesses.

The princess was fought over by the prince because she came with a kingdom. Fun structure to play with.

If you haven't, seeking out the pre-Disney versions of stories is a fun experience. Helps color what these stories were intended to convey. Inferred by reading a few variants of them. Then comparing to what Disney produced. Provides a useful snapshop on the arrow of time. What direction your childhood was being nudged. Then once you know this, you can decide where you wish your human operating system to be nudged there. Or you walk away with a picture of what the cauldron of storytelling actually looks like, with a newfound ability to dip modern events into that cauldron to construct useful storytelling narratives of your own doing.

Popular Tales of the Norse. And Blue Faerie Book are a couple of them referenced by Tolkien in On Faerie-Stories.

But why male models?

Maps are drawn by the winners as history is always written by the winners

I learned how to speak ASL alongside English for the most part, though deaf people usually learn how to communicate in ASL and how to read English as well. So ASL is learned mostly by watching other people sign, because there's no written ASL learning it through flashcards or something isn't ideal

The higher you go on a mountain the colder it gets, northern europe is colder.

You’re close but the giant iron mass in actually in the core of the earth not in the arctic. It’s just how the invisible flux lines runs through the planet. We essentially live on a giant magnet

The entire purpose of the cardinal directions is to improve navigation and link it with something constant. If we don't follow the concept of keeping it constant across the board then it'll make navigation much harder.

Well I'm definitely in the background of the couple's photo who I photobombed at a gig a few nights ago. I don't think they noticed at the time :-)

Theres not a reason to life at all. We're just supposed to live

If you were holding a map, and trying to figure out which way to orient it so that it matched your surroundings, you'd want to have some sort of reference 'arrow' to line up with something. Historically, the most common physical reference point used in navigation was the north star.

So, face the north star while holding the map oriented correctly and north will be on the top of the map.
