do people just wake up and start consuming food/drink without brushing their teeth & washing their face?

Yes. I also generally eat breakfast before showering or brushing my teeth.

what’s the appeal? I get liking someone else making your breakfast, but why is having it in bed fun?

It is an extremely lazy way to get breakfast. You don’t even have to move out of bed to eat.

It seems like the commenter has been a thorn in your side.

Wikipedia has an imperfect process, but it is open to review and you can see how the sausage is made. It isn’t perfect, but the best we have.

We don’t fully understand JFK’s assassin, but it is likely not due to Vietnam as Vietnam wasn’t a major issue at the time of Kennedy’s death.

Lincoln’s assassination could be seen as a defense of slavery and other Southern “rights”.

Lately? I find it comes and goes.

Once per twelve hours would be ok. It isn’t enough to take over a feed, yet is enough to provide content.

Comfort is a deciding factor on how I dress. Within that, I try to pull off looks that don’t look like ass, which I seem to pull off.

In some form, yes. However, a lot of it centered around import fees instead of restricting immigration. It would also usually center around cities, bridges, toll roads, and ports rather than open fields.

If you were the wrong ethnic type in a city, they’d just kill you.

Microsoft did cozy up to the PC; it just happened to create a console that acted like a PC to hedge its bets and create a new product line.

The initial development of XBox came from Microsoft’s development of DirectX, which led to Microsoft doing a lot of the heavy development lifting required to make a console. At that point, all Microsoft needed was some hardware and it could ship product. So, Microsoft shipped XBox figuring that PC/XBox compatibility would beneficial for developers.

At that time, it was unclear if consoles or PC’s would win some forms of gaming. By making the XBox, a developer could develop for both, therefore defending PC gaming with Windows as an option.

Microsoft also made a lot of money off the consoles, since development costs were lower due to having to update DirectX for Windows as well.

A raw number across the whole federation would be useless. Different instances have their own cultures, making a unified number worthless. People could also goose their numbers by creating an instance that gives their account unlimited karma.

Instance karma could be useful, but it is a design decision not to show it. I suspect that will continue until there is a need to use karma for moderation, but I suspect that defederation would be the lower lying fruit for now.
