What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?
College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.

Why stand in line to board an airplane?
Surprised no one mentioned this, but carry-on bags are no longer free for all - only free for the first ones in line.

Why is my cat so anxious?
Sounds like you need to go to a vet.
How do you know anxiety caused the hives? Couldn't the hives have caused the anxiety? Or couldn't they be separate?
Take it to a vet, if you haven't already.

In the US, most professors are part time adjunct and get no health benefits. Probably make 30-50k.
Tenured faculty at major universities make 70-90k.
Considering these jobs requires at least 9 years of uni (in the US), the lifetime income of professors is still very low.
RE TAs: I US stem fields TAs work 20h and make 15-30k. That usually includes free tuition, but not in all states (e.g. in Texas, you sometimes pay tuition out of your TA pay, which is crazy)

My friend is acting really weird with my girlfriend
He's gay and closeted, looking for a friend, and it's easier to talk to a girl than directly to you.
He has feelings for your girlfriend. This is not an issue, as long as you trust your girlfriend. Feel flattered that your girlfriend is so awesome.

Can’t stop your cat from scratching the furniture? Science has some tips
It's an online survey of cat owners, seems funded by that company that sells air fresheners for cats.
They found no connection to scratching and their product, but did find that cats in houses with kids scratch more.
So sell your kids and enjoy that scratch-free sofa.

WHAT THE HELL AM I???
Sounds like you're a regular person with thoughts and preferences for how your body looks, like all people. Don't think it's about being trans, sorry to disappoint. Just my 2 cents though.

Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.

He *did* rule a promise
From Wikipedia:
According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus' lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus' shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus' tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

8-hour time-restricted eating linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death
This shouldn't be taken seriously. It's a very quick and dirty analysis presented at a conference without peer review. Start worrying when/if the scientific paper comes out, which might be years or never.

What family sayings did you think was universal?
To correct someone from saying "so" too much:
"Sew buttons on ice cream"
"Hey" too much:
"Hay is for horses"
"Well" too much:
"Well, well, well - that's three holes in the ground"
Micromanage much?!?!
