Not necessarily. Correlation is not necessarily causation, meaning that just because they're correlated doesn't mean that lowering the employment rate would necessarily increase financial and economical performance. For example, one underlying factor could be responsible for both of those trends, or financial and economical performance could cause low employment. And I have no idea why the two things are negatively correlated.

Who dat?

That's exploitation!!

Most of my favorite songs are from a wide variety of genres, genres which I probably don't like most music from.. but there are a few genres I particularly like, in that I like most music from them. psychill, goa-psy trance, nitzhogoa, hard dance, and some varieties of jazz, especially bebop, hard bop, and modern vocal jazz. Some other genres I tend to like are indie electronica, chillout dreams (di.fm), and deep tech (di.fm).

I usually just use Notepad, it's quick and easy to start up and use, sometimes I have to use Wordpad, I forget why, maybe for RichText, or because it handles files with only LF's and no CR's better than Notepad (unless Notepad has change since then), but I haven't really used Wordpad in years. For more involved stuff, like writing my book of essays, I use Word.

On Linux I use gedit, which is basically a small Notepad clone. I really don't like the way nano, vim, etc. work, it's not intuitive, everything takes thought and effort, and also experimentation since I cba to read the manual.

Nice theory, but no, I don't feel like that's (primarily?) it. I'm pretty sure the difference is inherent to the two sexes. Its probably not unrelated that females are the objectively fairer sex, as it would therefore make sense for them to be more attractive to both sexes, or that females are more "open" in general.

I've never been to a concert and never want to. 1. They're too loud, I wouldn't want to risk hearing loss or (more) tinnitus, I'm very protective of my body and senses, 2. Live music always sounds like utter crap anyway, I'd much rather just listen to the album version, 3. Maybe I'm just a little bit anti-social, but concerts seems uncomfortably crowded.

I don't use rentry, I've never been there. The one thing I don't like in a Retrospring theme is when people think they're clever and change the colors of some buttons and maybe other things so that you can't see them. Makes it very difficult.

My signature meal is spaghetti with a whole jar of pesto thrown in with the spaghetti sauce. I love it, my family loves it, and one time I made it for my girlfriend and her mom in Norway, and her mom said that it was what spaghetti should really taste like. Sometimes instead of normal pesto I use sundried tomato pesto (I used green pesto in Norway). In both cases I use Classico brand pesto, it's my favorite. I couldn't use Classico in Norway, though, since they didn't have it.

My favorite chip flavor is salt & vinegar, if you mean potato chips. The more salt and vinegar the better. Doritos are also chips, though, and I really like Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos.

I didn't feel old when I was 30, and I still don't. And I wasn't really grey, wrinkly or dry when I was 30. Well, except inasmuch as men tend to be drier than women, and adults tend to be drier than kids. I still don't feel old now, though I do have a fair amount of grey and silver hair.

I like iced coffee with ice cubes, which isn't just coffee but has a lot of cream and sugar. I don't like straight coffee either way--it's too bitter, it's the drink of psychopaths.

I've never been on a subway.
