    Well, the ROI would be not getting fucking fired for criminal acts.

    Edit: I mean if you need an ROI to not commit a shitty act then you deserve the book thrown at you.

    These are the same people who say they would prefer a dangerous freedom *rather than a peaceful slavery. As if you can't have a peaceful freedom...

    They are more concerned about their feelings than actually moving towards a real freedom.

    Edit: wording

    Short version: longer sentences don't mean more justice.

    I never understand why people don't want criminals reformed, just locked up.

    There are very good arguments for rehabilitation of those who commit crimes.

    And before anybody sounds off there are certain people who just need to be removed from society due to an inability to behave. It's just a very small portion of those who break the law.

    The price of progress is not oppression as oppression is the opposite of progress.

    You are confusing corporate profit with progress.

    I am not a knife merchant either, but do think people carrying knives is a good thing. Not asking everyone to carry a Bowie knife (the average person doesn't need one that big normally), a pen knife is good enough.

    The way I read it was that the patient was deceived by a website put up by the "not clinic". It's a recognised tactic that they use.

    Are you saying the clinic that illegally intercepted communication that wasn't meant for them and wouldn't have provided ALL info and options should get a pat on the wrist, rather than receive punishment for deceitful actions?

    I know where I stand and it should be fined out of existence for pushing its christo-fascist bullshit.

    One could argue that they aren't capable of these types of jobs due to the end product being a fucking half billion dollar joke a piece.

    There are many things wrong with how the procurement process works in Canada. Most of them are in Ottawa.

    Civilian oversight is necessary, but moving at a snails pace "to prevent corruption" is a fucking joke.

    Yeah, I would stop, or at the very least get a professional opinion. And stay away from hobbies that beat the shit out of your hands.

    Long distance cycling might not have a crazy mental workout but it'll wear you out. You could do more challenging hikes, or you might need to replace it with 2 hobbies, I'm just some dude on the Internet.

    Take care of your hands.

    Hey look, your Wikipedia link says the nutrients cats need from meat can be synthesised in literally the second sentence.

    This is what I was referring to.

    I wasn't making an argument either way. You asked for someone to help you with your homework and I gave you a place to start with the understanding that you were going to apply critical thinking and check source material after being shown a direction.

    You want to removed about having to think and do work? Stop getting into these types of discussions. I made no claims as to validity just that a quick search revealed many sources and articles that had info you were looking for.

    Edit: spelling and grammar.

    What are your thoughts on E-motorbikes using bike lanes?

    Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike ([this style](https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2018/10/zero-s-header.jpg?quality=82&strip=all)) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on). Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it's clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes. I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP's without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.

    Cover story ideas for my character in a homebrew campaign.

    The campaign is set in the Moonshae Isles. I am playing the Sarifal outcast background as a Fairy. As part of the background, my character, Spark, is on a secret mission (rooting out traitors) for High Lady Ordlaf. Now, Spark isn't allowed to tell the real reason that he is not at court. And he is known to be banished as part of his cover. I was thinking that he would use multiple excuses when he is asked what he was banished for. Not all have to be serious, and he is skilled in deception.
