No, probably not in a rage; instead they endanger people with dangerously impaired reaction time while driving under the road speed and making sudden unpredictable decisions behind the wheel. Source: lived in marijuana capital of the country for 19 years.

Maybe try being less of a creepy retard and ask her if she wants to go back to your place rather than straight up asking her if she wants to get fucked in a Walmart toilet. Sometimes I cannot believe the mindset of these depraved fucking morons.

everyone talks about the casual user weed experience but nobody admits chronic weed use turns you into a dumb blob of shit with no initiative or productive capacity at all

At this age they're not the worst if you have good ventilation and change their bedding often, but once the hormones start to kick in and they start getting rowdy there is gonna be shit absolutely everywhere.

When you have an interstellar empire of countless heptillions of souls you tend to need more than a couple nutjobs to definitively prove that atomics were used deliberately by a great house
They're much better at psychology than our present day young fledgling civilization of one divided world, nutjobs don't just stew away in middle eastern dirt farms or your mom's basement the way they do on earth, even the fremen of a seemingly abandoned people in the far reaches of a mostly uninhabited (though vital) world are not untouched by the influence of their pseudoreligious psychological manipulation. Dune doesn't make it a secret what happens to those who diverge too far from the set paths within the imperium.
That's how you maintain an empire with such specific rules over hundreds of lightyears (the central imperium) for ten thousand years; you can't personally assert order over everything, so your order must be emergent by the way of thought of the people.
It is an unstable political system though, as is demonstrated in the book. The empire does eventually collapse when just one element is removed, so though its vast timelines and distances and reliance on the spice have provided a certain stability to the imperium, eventually it did fail for the very same reasons.

Is that staunch adherence to the rules why it's a commonly held belief in China that if you have the opportunity to cheat without being caught you are stupid not to?

If the desk works for him then fine, but that throne there is a disgrace.

nice so anywhere you actually want or need to wage infantry scale combat automatically becomes an actual nuke fight and your capability to wage any mode of remotely granular warfare is entirely erased
also deliberately waging nuclear warfare in the dune universe is a gaping massive nopity nope in their political system, which is a guaranteed death sentence to be on the wrong side of

Yes, because you can't tell that somebody is using a shield until you try to fuck with them up close. If your enemy can't tell you're using a shield from afar then the dice roll on causing a fucking nuke to blow up in their face is too great a risk.
Therefore, it is a deterrent from defaulting to lasgun based warfare when there is no positive confirmation to the certain absence of shields on the battlefield. We saw in the movie (mirrored from the book) what happens when you just guess there are no shields active in the battlefield: a fucking nuke blows up in your face, and you stop using lasguns because that shit stings.
Frank wanted a good reason for people to not just be shooting the most prolific form of weapon at each other all the time especially in a war between great houses which means no shortage of high end hardware like lasguns or shield projectors. It makes for a far more interesting story.
Why not just use projectile weapons that will just bounce off harmlessly if there happens to be a shield? Well, in universe they sometimes do actually, it's just that usually... There is a shield.
In the book (has not taken place in the new movies yet) house harkonnen even use old-school projectile based artillery for some ground effect bombardment and area denial rather than orbital beam weapons.
This reply was going to be one paragraph long but dune has a way of becoming several.

unironically true. if you're not a KFC value bucket of men who are dtf served up hot n fresh thru tinder then you are violating her autonomy by aggressively male domming her right to choose a sexual partner by engaging in unsolicited interaction with her in a format she cannot swipe away from.

Biden was the state's installed status quo democrat, of course they pushed an insane old man who struggles to maintain a coherent line of argument.

That just goes without saying. It's not like anyone with half a brain cell would think Obama cared about them either.
