Why don't they call it West north or East south?

Hard to argue with the logic, but covid gives you a dry cough forever and Southwest does throw in a bag that has 6 peanuts in it.

Obsessed with the idea that some disgruntled person found the materials necessary to write this joke and post it here

Well for one thing, the north or south direction is always stated first. So the words would be northwest or southeast. Still, why southwest instead of northeast? I imagine south because you go south to get closer to the equator where it's warmer. Maybe west because the U.S. is in the west and even if you travel to New York, it's still the "Western world". Even Europe is considered "West despite being the eastern portion of most standard maps, it's still west of the true "East" that is associated with Asia, which is itself often divided between "Asia" and "South east Asia".

I am not 100% positive but I think it is because all reliable ways of navigating (lodestones, Viking sun compasses and most celestial methods) could reliably measure and identify north or south. So the other directions are in relation to the 2 you can reliably measure.

How dare you sir ?

This Aryan Supremacy will not do !

😅

You stepping into a landmine zone that will give the Korean DMZ penis envy !

Hindi is one of the languages that is spoken , it is a bastard language like English. maybe that's why Indians don't really have an issue with English either. (Head shaking and accent not included)

Apart from that, there are a lot of languages with different ethnic origins.

Supposedly I have a Southwest flight tomorrow evening. I am worried though because it seems like 50000 other people may think they have flights too. Possibly at the same airport. I guess I just don't really trust their scheduling at this point.

As far as I understand the major reason for the cancellations are harsh weather conditions making it a security issue.

In times like that I tend to share one of the best sayings in aviation I know of…

“It’s better to be down here wanting to be up there, than up there wanting to be down here”.

Yes it’s understandably frustrating but safety has to come first.

Bit of a moot point, I guess.

I mean, imagine if it mutates into a sexually transmitted virus.

Which would be preferable ?

Herpes-Covid hybrid ?

HIV-Covid ?

Now imagine if HIV-Covid, mutates back to airborne and just silently spreads to entire 7/8 billion over the next 10 years without any symptoms.

And then boom 💥 !

2032 - a massive out break of TB & HIV, 99% mortality !
