I know for my nearby intersections, when the button is not pressed, even when the lights change, the walk signal will never illuminate.

I think it depends on where you're at. I've been taught to ID even for N/A beers (because usually when advertised as such, they are allowed something like 0.5% or less ABV). But also, what kid would enjoy the taste of beer? Even the stereotype that's how teens want to drink all the time, the lack of alcohol takes all of the fun out of that stereotype. As an adult, I only drink ciders and wines, which has kid versions of soda and grape juice.

This thread has a lot of people saying things like "don't get a degree" or "get a trade cert" or "work in a different field to get experience" which I feel completely side-steps many issues and the realities that many people face. It's just a fundamentally broken system. The value of degrees fluctuates so much because of a political climate that has the stability of a pane of glass being violently thrown off of a building and a job market that prioritizes either posting ghost jobs to overwork employees to death or outsourcing its candidate search to whoever can guess the most buzzwords in an application.

When there wasn't a word count, but instead a page count, I increased the size of periods to make wider spaces between lines, just by a point or two. These types of stupid requirements are why in undergrad, multiple TAs and professors noted that I have a very verbose way of writing.

I was wondering about that. I assumed there wasn't exceptions, because those can still be possessive. Oakland A's members or 13's unlucky superstition. I'm not surprised though, because English is a stupid mess of a language.

The issue with this is that one of my other cats doesn't understand the concept of running water. He tries swatting it and biting it.

There must be more specifics about that too. I know games I backed on patreon needed to make the price for a key higher since steam wouldn't allow it to be gifted at a lower cost. But Humble Bundle does that, so I'm not sure where the line is.

Only one of my cats is a chatterbox, but I have no idea what any of his meows mean. He looks somewhere, screams, looks somewhere else, screams again, looks at me, screams. He doesn't even differentiate at all, because he uses all of his different meows for the same things. I think he just likes to talk, because he's been like that since he was a kitten.

My cat was born from a stray, and I took it upon myself to raise her. She acts like she doesn't remember what it was like to be outside for two years of her life, as she has completely adapted to her regal lifestyle with no interest in going back outside ever. She is convinced that water straight from the tap is better than water straight from the tap into her bowl. She also will drink from the puddles on the floor after a shower, because that is somehow also better than water in her bowl. She also scratches at doors she wants open. She also was mad at me for an entire day for the two or three drops of flea medication.

Based on what I see in this thread, I find more of an issue to be media. Mainstream media can walk the line of truth and falsehood and make people think a certain way. Anyone who sees that can be redirected to an online source, which can be anybody from Jane/John Infantbrain to legitimate scientists. Being an influencer doesn't preclude being a specialist, academic, etc., but the average person isn't going to determine or care for the difference.

If it were feasible, sure. But when there's no social safety net, everyone would need a Plan B just in case. And I mean everyone, since I'm under the impression they would rather close a single location than pay reasonably.
