Corporations are neither evil nor nice. They are indifferent. By design they only care about money, they don't care about anything else.

The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don't live in Texas, you shouldn't have issues with electricity.

Free speech is the worst possibly way to defend your opinion. Your basically saying "my opinion is valid because it's not illegal to state my opinion"

Being conservative doesn't mean you want to take away people's rights.

Also, it's basically impossible to get rid of supreme court justices, and for good reason. It allows them to rule on cases based only on what they legitimately believe to be the correct decision. The supreme court's job isn't to decide right from wrong, it's to decide legal from illegal. If you don't like their ruling, the way to change it should be through Congress, not though the courts.

It's fine to have dating preferences. The issue is when people who are just calling anyone who is conservative leaning terrible. If you don't agree with someone's political ideology, you should just respectfully disagree, not call them a terrible person.

Also, calling people evil for their options is a terribly way to convince them to change, it just makes them get really defensive. If you want to convince someone to change opinion, you need to have a respectful, insightful discussion.

I'm not calling you a bigot. I'm just saying that everyone here seems to have really extreme opinions, and hates anyone who even slightly disagrees.

Having an unpopular opinion doesn't make you a troll. We can argue good/bad opinion all we want. But calling someone a troll for disagreeing with you is just plain rude.

Being conservative doesn't make you a bigot. Being liberal doesn't make you a bigot. What makes you a bigot is hating someone just for disagreeing with you, or being part of a different group.

Bigot: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

What does being conservative have to do with being racist?

Hashing only works if the website stores their passwords correctly. If a single website you use doesn't hash passwords correctly, and gets their database leaked, then your passwords will all be leaked. Changing a few characters per site may help a bit, but it shouldn't be relied on.

Also, if you're worried about the host shutting down, you should try bitwarden. It's completely open source, and you can self host it if you want.

Because in real life, it's (relatively) easy to have both anonymity and trust. Online, it's impossible to have both. If you want to trust that the vote numbers haven't been tampered with, you necessarily need to know everyone who voted.

This is the fundamental problem with online voting.
