All video games have bugs. Pong had a bug where you didn't have to move the paddle and still score a win. Super Mario Bros. is notorious for having minus-level glitches.
The difference between then and now is if there are bugs that the user finds acceptable or noticeable and bugs that are not, and there are far more of the latter than the former now. Then again, back then, you didn't have system updates, so the only way to patch a game was through the sneakernet.
Afghanistan was a very progressive country not long ago but it took a few years of religious bigotry to have women that used to wear nice clothes and lipstick to be locked behind full body covers.
If you're talking about the Taliban, we kinda-sorta helped them get into power in Afghanistan by fighting along their side when the Soviet Union was occupying their country. It was even a plot point in Rambo III!
I stuck with Comcast because they answer the phone quickly, and jumping to anyone else with the same speed net is the same or more. Most are 100MBps or lower. But Gb is around $80-$100 from all of them.
I'd hazard to guess that Comcast is offering you great value and service because of all that competition. Without it, they'd have no incentive to do so.
i. Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation relating to the 2020 election;
What the hell is "malinformation", and how does it differentiate from the other two? I'll take a stab at it: Using my linguistic skills,
"Misinformation" is false information that may or may not be deliberate
"Disinformation" is deliberately false information
"Malinformation" literally translates to "bad information" (from Latin "Mala Informatione") , but is it "bad advice" or "bad opinions"? Those aren't information per se, so I can't see how this is any different from the other two. I'll have to hear it a lot in context to understand what's going onā¦
I'm just not a fan of subscriptions, but to each his own.
Keep in mind that there are also free ad-driven streaming services such as Tubi, the Roku channel, Peacockās free tier, and PlutoTV. There are even more which I havenāt even joined.
the religious groups have been against televisions already in 1980s, so when you talk about cable cutting, the religious groups that want everyone to drop all technology and move to 1700s are the only people with consistent opinion that televisions need to be dropped.
You're confused. The Pennsylvania Dutch, a.k.a. the Amish, are ideologically opposed to technology past the 1700's. That being said, they keep to themselves and don't impose their beliefs on others, so I have no problem with them.
There were also Televangelists, or TV preachers, in the 1980's, but they were not so much anti-technology as using technology to get rich tax-free. See here.
I realize The US isn't as advanced as Finland, but you can easily look this information up, thanks to Finns such as Linus Torvalds.

The Mafia doesn't have the command of an army, navy, or police force.

Outrageous.
I hold the advocates of FOSTA in deep contempt; they created a SƤuberung that will make us weaker as a culture.
