Mildly Interesting

Sounds about right, there's a difference between atheism and agnosticism, which is what the 2nd question is asking.

I think "atheist" carries the connotations of being irreligeous, not just not believing in any gods. So some people may not believe in any gods, but maybe they do have some kind of spirituality, or believe in ghosts or something. Buddhism as a religion doesn't mandate God-belief, though some schools do interact with devas. I'm unsure if any other religions don't require gods to work, but even if they exist, I imagine they and Buddhists, despite not believing in any gods, will be very hesitant to describe themselves as "atheist."

Don't you know? The only city in the USA is either New York or Los Angleas or San Francisco. If its a movie about alien invasion then Washington, DC will also show up.

If its UK, the only city is London.

If its China, the only cities that exist are Beijing or Shanghai.

If its Japan, the only city that exist is Tokyo.

Welcome to Hollywood!

Lol, right?

My dad was in the Air Force so we moved all over the place, but whenever we were stationed in the South in the 90's I would often be the first Asian person to ever go to that school.

Before traveling to California, I had people in my neighborhood plead with me not to go because the whole state is a "disaster area" and that the cities are burning and that there are "drug needles everywhere you walk" and that I was putting my life and those of my loved ones in serious danger. They thought with 100% certainty that Los Angeles was completely on fire from looting and I was going to some kind of Mad Max hellscape. Without exaggeration. They wouldn't listen to reassurance and were genuinely worried.

Granted some of these people were older, they weren't suffering dementia and could still drive. They just park in front of FOX news all day, every day, 24-hours a day swallowing conservative propaganda. They also have algorithmic filtering on their facebook and twitter.

Our perspectives of each others worlds has been damaged beyond repair because of this filtering. We have it on the left/progressive side too, showing us a different reflection of a pandering, emotionally validating worldview. Not as malicious maybe, but we are all trapped.

Well, the survey does not show the distribution of answers. So my guess (it's a guess, not data) is the people living in densely populated areas answered lower numbers, and people living in rural or remote areas ridiculously overestimated the number of trans people based on how much of a big "issue" medias are making of them.

Yeah that's bananas. I wonder if people saying 1 in 5 people are trans even know a trans person

If 21% of the population was trans, republicans ain't winning elections again.
