This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'd honestly believe the opposite, with people living in liberal cities overestimating. Personallt, in a friend group of about 15, 4 are trans.

Just because you're progressive, doesn't mean you're good at math or understand statistics.

You know, thinking back about how big the number is, it's probably both.
