I thought about printing it out, sticking it up somewhere and filling in a dot at the start of every month... gently caress that was a depressing idea. Nope.

It is labeled "turning 90" and is actually 89. You can double check by counting rows.

So more kids drove than had driver's licenses? That's a bit worrying.

In many states, 16-17 year olds (or even younger) can or must drive on a permit for practice before they're licensed.

Didn't gas get really expensive (even compared to today) right around when the iPhone dropped? I was in Iraq in 2008, and I remember coming back to $4.50/ga in CA and being all upset about it, like I was literally just fighting for oil yesterday wtf Bush

I wonder how much safer the roads are with fewer 16 year olds on them.... I'm sure that the 22-year-old just learning to drive is a more of a risk than the 22-year-old who has been driving for years but in aggregate fewer kids driving must be a plus for almost everyone who isn't directly dependent on selling cars or whatever.

Who cares, in twenty years driverless cars will be the norm, and being able to drive an automatic, much less a manual will be a specialized skill like riding a horse or skiing.

It's more that when a whole lot of people lose their jobs and don't have to drive every day the death rate from motor vehicles goes way down.

There are so many snide comments I want to make about this that I can't narrow it down to just one. gently caress it, I'll do bullet points:

-"Socialism as a viable option" - yes, only a belief held by the political extremes, rather than social welfare programs actually being the norm in basically every modern country on the planet.
-Critical of Israel = Belief Jews have too much power/anti-semetism. I mean, I get that his point was to say "lol look how both sides are the same" but I'm pretty sure even the extreme ends would find that to be a pretty ridiculous conflation (also isn't it a thing that some alt-right people are actually pro-Israel, both because they're "sticking it to the Muslims" and also it lets them say "Look, all the Jews should just go THERE instead of here")
-I like how the distance between the labels on the flat bar are way different than the labels on the circle even though they're supposed to be the same thing. BLM/Socialism/Alt-left are WAY closer together on the top bit than the bottom one.
-Look, just because you keep SAYING there's such a thing as "alt-left" doesn't actually make it a thing. "alt-right" is a label that the people that use it gave to themselves (probably because it's nicer sounding than what everyone else calls them which is "nazis"). Nobody has ever referred to themselves as "alt-left".

Well, B and В, X and Х, H and Н, P and Р all also make completely different sounds. But they're the same shape so it counts for this graph I guess.
