This brings tears to my eyes, what a horrific and willful destruction of life. Seeing those poor creatures trying and inevitably failing to escape the net is just awful.

Not an airport, no need to announce departures. You're free to leave at any time.

Babies have to learn to be self sufficient as early as 12 weeks so that they can enter the workforce and learn to be oppressed sooner.

Proud to say I accomplished that! My dad trained a fair bit. I did like 1 10km walk the week before we started, and I finished the 800kms with no real dramas, except the first day which was a massive climb. After 5-6 days my body was totally accustomed to the task at hand.

(Super irrelevant to the post but it was an awesome experience and I would advocate anyone to undertake it, regardless of your thoughts on religion. I am not religious but did find it spiritual in a way. I did it about 6 years ago and still think about it every week.)

Where I live, you have boring reused English place names like Brighton and Canterbury, and then much more distinguishable and interesting place names from the indigenous peoples like Dandenong and Bullengarook. When you learn the interpreted history of the name, I really appreciate the name more. Dandenong is thought to have come from Tanjenong, which means "lofty mountains."

Then there are some bastardisations - what is now known as Toorak is from the word Turrak, which means "reedy grass"

Indigenous culture here is so willfully ignored and diminished by so many people. I think it's really cool that we do have some ongoing reference to the oldest continuous culture in the world, even if it only comes up in meme culture as a funny haha :)

You're right, he's only a convicted felon.

All systems have anomalies. A healthy system addresses the anomaly per the rules of the system. An unhealthy system breaks to accommodate the anomaly.

Because males as a term had not picked up culturally loaded meaning from those who would exploit them.

But hey, maybe you'd be able to score some valuable Beanie Babies.

For Kitchen Nightmares that's true, but Hell's Kitchen is another story altogether for his persona.

A long trip to a regional tavern covering (some of) the best roads in the area.

Stole $1000 (likely from someone who wouldn't realise it's even gone) to prevent untold trauma. I understand it's a grey situation but knowing how damaging conversion therapy can be to a person, I'd say theft is certainly the lesser of two evils.

You're bang on. It's called MaxDiff. I use it frequently in my line of work to prioritise product or service messaging with panel data. It's better in some cases to use Inferred preference rather than stated, but generally good to keep the options comparable in "size" of offer.

I would never interpret a MaxDiff model low end result as "wow, 5% of people want slower browsers." Instead I'm focusing on the top cluster. As with any model, they're only ever so accurate. Don't read into the questions too much.
