My wife carries our baby or uses a stroller to walk our older kids to school. It's completely non-viable most of the winter.

Some of them are probably automatic but others probably need the button.
Depends on the intersection. On low pedestrian traffic roads in cities run by competent people, you have to hit the button to trigger the walk signal. In pedestrian heavy areas, the walk lights will be on a timer. It's much more efficient to not have a slow walk cycle when there are no pedestrians and no one but car haters cares about having to press the button.
Also they probably have a suspended license due to repeated DUIs.
Also some lights work off of sensors too instead of just a fixed timer. If there are no cars waiting at a red light and cars still passing the green light there is no reason to start the timer to change the lights, so a pedestrian needs push the button to manually start the timer so they can cross.
I'm late, but everything he says here is actually true. I still see guns for sale at my local Walmart and I'm right next to Phoenix. There is a LOT of violence in that city. In Arizona you don't need a permit for concealed carry. If he was in a shitty hotel I wouldn't be surprised if he heard gunshots at night.

Cyclists: Treat me like a car!
A lot of the modern "buttons" are just metal plates that will chirp if you touch them.
Slightly related, but I love how cyclists constantly flex that lacking license plates or any sort of identifier is some sort of flex when fleeing the police or authority, but then get pissed why cops won't do anything about stolen bikes. Bicycles DO have a unique ID number but that's not a database that you can register a bicycle under, and if cops happen to impound a large number of stolen bicycles they aren't going to be checking the frames for those numbers.
The mountains are a giveaway that this is in Colorado but someone pointed out in the thread it was Glenwood Springs, Colorado. As you can see in Google Maps and in the photo itself, there's a sign recommending to cross under a bridge less than a block away as the road goes over the Colorado River and Interstate 70.
I think part of it is that the technical term for the button is "beg button" and when they learned this they got irrationally angry and offended that le evil car company conspiracy was making them beg to be a pedestrian/cyclist. It's a human right! Where's my Gatorade? It's a human right! Gatorade motherfucker!
Hey man, my first car was a Saturn sedan, think it was an SL1, can't remember the exact model. Anyways, point is that I put 100k miles on that car and never changed the oil and it never once complained.Who knew Saturn, of all vehicles, was trailblazer in future car design
Apparently this was my dad's first car. Now he owns a Tesla, so his taste in cars is still plastic garbage.
Oh by Fauci above, not the Doomsday Clock!
The Doomsday Clock is sort of like NORAD's Santa tracking, a publicized and trackable event for something that really doesn't exist.
Kill yourself, you filthy Santa denier.
Come on, everyone knows Santa Claus isn't real. The Easter Bunny, on the other hand...
Well that does confirm a few things and illustrate how these people think, some of which has been discussed on this thread. In particular:
Even if it wasn't any technical term, they'd just make up a word and use it ad nauseum until it gets into some sort of semi-official lexicon, like "stroad".
