A pretty silly graph to make without normalizing to the population.

Oh come on, even if you left the axes unlabelled it's pretty damn self-explanatory.

Normalization isn't about axis labelling.

It's also not just the gross population -- it was MUCH less common for women, especially married ones, to work in 1965 than now. So the US population is about half again what it was then, but the working population was quite a bit less.

Okay, you've forced me to look it up. According to the Statistical Abstract of the United States from 1965, the labor force in summer 1964 was not quite 80 million people. In 2019 it was 160 million people, roughly doubling.

So if you correct for the size of the labor force you'd see more general slow downward drift in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, the unemployment in the 70s and post-2008 would show up a bit more starkly, and the big thump at the end would be proportionately half as big compared to the early decades.

And the impact of the chart and the fit to the music would be exactly the same. Bluh.

Well there you go.

I liked the Gamecube. It was their last real console before they started making underpowered baby toys.

I bought a gamecube in 2006 when I had to take a leave of absence from the city and take care of a family member in Buttfuck, Mass. Holy Moly, it was eye opening for me, I wasn't really into games before that, but Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness, Killer 7, Mario Sunshine, it really was the best, the only competition since (for me) was the ps3, but I've trailed off again since (the ps4 game are just boring).

oh and Cubivore, I loved that weird fucking game.

Then Nintendo went on to make the Pee, the Pee Poo, and the Bitch.


Cena_mark - 2020-04-07

I found PS3 boring as well. I didn't buy any consoles after that.
