I'm not sure this is true, and it seems unclear to me. In the books, the Battle of Corrin, which is what leads to the establishment of house Corrino and the imperium, has nothing to do with the Butlerian Jihad (the war with the thinking machines). In fact, it all happens in the WAKE of the Jihad, decades later, and it's a political conflict. It seems that, in the show, they've made the Battle of Corrin be the ultimate battle against the machines that ends the Jihad. I could be wrong, but I believe the Sardaukar would have already existed either way, not necessarily as the empire's standing army, but definitely as an existing military force.

Once again I will remind everyone that Twitter is not news and that Prong's tweet does not come from a real news agency. I would encourage everyone to seek out actual news outlets and not follow that account.

He was obviously short lol some of y'all are fuckin wild e: They should still run a play

Georgia is playing prevent too, GT should take advantage.

You should instantly lose your job if you ever run prevent D with more than 5 seconds left in the game.

Uh he lost the ball the instant of contact. You're crazy.

FTFY

And also elaborate on what you mean instead of dropping a one liner and dipping.

Once again, Twitter isn't news. I'm starting to agree with Ana that Twitter embeds ought to be disabled. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-tank-fires-3-south-lebanese-towns-lebanese-security-sources-media-say-2024-11-28/

It's fine it's all just opinions anyway. I've had the same thoughts but I've never seen any data to actually back it up is all.

Yup. Kicking the can down the road etc

Cross posting, big news: https://www.npr.org/2024/11/26/nx-s1-5206389/israel-ceasefire-hezbollah-lebanon I don't believe the full details have been released.

I'm not sure I agree with this. Feel free to post some, I'm certainly willing to have my mind changed, but 1I've never seen any sort of compelling evidence that there is any correlation between economic status/level of education and substance abuse. I have, on the other hand, seen studies over the years that suggest that the middle/upper class consume drugs/alcohol at either the same rate or a higher rate than those at a poverty level. On the other hand, there is a correlation with homelessness and substance addiction, but that adds multiple additional layers of hardship over simply being poor that would possibly lead someone to substance abuse. I would guess the answer is much more simple, and that's just the bleakness of their existence. I live in a rural area of central TX, out in the country but near a town that is objectively dying and lacking opportunity for basically anyone that isn't a fast food restaurant owner or has some sort of specialized practice (dentist, lawyer, etc). I know so many people who are barely hanging on by the skin of their teeth and any number of major (or even minor, but seemingly major in their eyes) life events lie in wait that could absolutely push them into a hopeless spiral that could quickly lead to suicide.

Not necessarily true with regard to health care in general, spending doesn't necessarily correlate to quality of care. We vastly outspend everyone else for health care per capita and yet our quality of care is trash tier almost across the board. Hell, Cuba is poor as shit and spends peanuts per capita compared to the US and has better life expectancy, infant mortality, and overall outcomes IIRC.
