When I see on the bio of an accountant "CPA, JD, Admitted in New York State and in The State of New Jersey", what does that mean? Admitted to what?

JD is a lawyer, so it's referring to the bar.

If you have it switched, what do you have it changed to?

I personally use close current tab.

Why is it that "useless drivel" is more likely to get a like than actually helping someone (even from those that are helped)?

To be fair - those posts are many times rewarded with a DDF currency far more valuable than a like.

Hat tips. And while some can feed their children with likes, no amount of likes will get you a bottle of Blue Label...

It feels good to know that someone appreciated your post?

What's this about hat tips and liquor?

If you get a certain amount of hat tips (100?) Dan's minhag is to send a present which usually includes liquor

(Speaking to those who can't feed there children off them. All of us.)

For the same reason that people care about them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc etc. That instant sense of approval hits our brains in a very powerful way, and it can be addictive.

Quote from: Addiction Center link=https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/social-media-addiction/
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram produce the same neural circuitry that is caused by gambling and recreational drugs to keep consumers using their products as much as possible. Studies have shown that the constant stream of retweets, likes, and shares from these sites have affected the brain’s reward area to trigger the same kind of chemical reaction as other drugs, such as cocaine. In fact, neuroscientists have compared social media interaction to a syringe of dopamine being injected straight into the system.

In other words, every like you give makes you an enabler

Yes, those, in particular. But, why should that preclude them from getting likes from the people who got the deal straight from the posts.
I was also asking in general, when someone helps out, by answering a question, or the like, why do they often not get a like.
