Yokozuna

Hey, you just described the whole plot of Gundam!

These little fuckers will steal your shit so fast when you're hiking in the mountains.

RIP to the chance of ever getting a halfway decent modern Gundam game. Titanfall did the mech piloting the best, armored core has always done great customization (honorable mention to Chrome Hounds). If we had a Gundam game with half the gusto of either of those titles, it would be so well received, I feel like.

Not sure about that, but there was an account of something similar in India, I believe, where there was a chemical agent involved that buzzards were extremely susceptible to and wound up killing off most, if not all of the population. This led to carcasses being left to rot and then became vectors for disease and basically led to a chain reaction of events that caused a few million people to die.

I don't know if killing off mosquitos would have quite as a profound effect as this, but there are so many things I feel like we have almost no understanding of when it comes to the natural world to say either way.

I've read in a few comments here that there are studies saying that it wouldn't have a crazy effect - if anyone could link them so I can give them a read, I would appreciate it.

My only problem with it is the fact that you're taking a major insect class out of the ecosystem and later on down the line it might have serious implications. There will never be enough research on the effects of it until it's too late to reverse. I hate mosquitoes (I live in Southern LA.) but I don't think this is the answer.

Taking over corporate phone systems... what? Care to elaborate?

This made me laugh more than I expected.

Also MK Ultra didn't help his mental stability too much.

I'm totally for how and why he dipped out. I've made a few decisions in life in a similar fashion. But a man as principled as he is, with feelings and ideas that intense, is a hell of a thing to lose in the pursuit of truth. Just imagine, if instead of resigning to almost insurmountable odds where most would be against him, he instead chose to be a stubborn man in the opposite respect and didn't rest until the truth and was common knowledge or had created groups and institutions to further pursue it if not able to do it himself.

Things like this are way bigger than one person, and to understand the problem and try to tackle it would consume your whole life. Go on and pick some mushrooms my man. You made your contribution to society and decided the rat race isn't worth it.
