  • I think you would pick a north depending on your place of origin. Probably from either their own planet or, more likely, their own galaxy.

    But when you get to another galaxy you’d probably have to pick again. Galaxies aren’t all oriented the same way but they do roughly spin at the same speed. So, just like earth, from a certain point of view everything spins around the north south axle. But that does not have to line up to your home galaxy. And even if they did, it might spin the other way around. Much like venus spins in the opposite direction of the rest of the planets in our solar system.

    What I’m trying to say is that using a universal North is completely impractical for intergalactic space travel. So you’d probably use a local system. And where that’s not possible, you’d probably use your point of origin for orientation.











  • Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

    Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.





  • Same exact experience. Dutch literature is horrid. It’s a lot of sad depression and drugs. There’s a reason almost everyone read “het diner” or “het gouden ei” since those are doable. There seriously isn’t anything exciting like a detective or the stuff you mentioned. Not even a 1984, which is a depressing book but at least there’s some excitement. It really seems most Dutch literature is just pages of misery and nothing happening.

    For English literature I read the lord of the rings. Way more pages, much more fun.

    It’s stress hormones you use to handle stress with becoming an emotional wreck. This includes physical stress like getting sick but also of course emotional stress.

    The effects of low cortisol are similar to a burnout and high cortisol makes you worry and restless on the low end and paranoid at the high end.

    Corticosteroids are synthetic versions of this and often use to treat infections and inflammation.
