Or maybe folks are displaying their native "eurocentrism" in how they view maps -- nothing intrinsically special about north being "up" on a map.

That's like saying it's "native eurocentrism" to expect an hour to consist of 60 minutes. International standards are international standards, regardless of their geographic origins or inherent arbitrariness.

No, that would be "babyloniancentrism" -- something completely different

Especially when considering earth path through the galaxy. We imagine the earth on a horizontal plane with the north up. Then you realize that plane is perpendicular to the galactic plane, following the sun course in a sort of hellicoid pattern and up has no longer any meaning.

This is a misleading title for a thread, just saying.

What's misleading? It's about the Games com livestream on Sunday and whether or not it's on?

The thread was made without knowing if there was one. The OP got lucky on a technicality. The OP literally asked if there was a livestream.

However, usually when a livestream occurs, it is called X livestream (date) as a thread, to discuss the livestream in question.

Had there been nothing to discuss, people would get confusing assuming there indeed was one.

Get it?

I'm the OP. I wanted to know if it was on so I asked. I saw on Writing Bulls YouTube page that he was going to be doing something but I don't speak German so I wasn't sure if it would be on his page or on 2Ks page. I figured asking g here would be a smart choice. Sorry I didn't put a '?' In the title. FMD.
