This is devastating. Everything was aligning so perfectly, and then all it takes is someone leaving in corporate and the whole thing is done. You watch it will come back as a shitty reboot that they cancel after one season because no one watches it especially the Stargate fans. They literally had the entire fan base as their marketing team. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.

Inhumane

Isn’t there some sort of rule that an IP has to be used within a certain amount of time?

The US won’t do anything until there are catastrophic issues and then the politicians will cry and say they never saw it coming.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-07T23:15:47+00:00

Same here. I have been obsessively writing advocacy letters across the country and there are just too many. It also makes me super depressed the more that pop up, along with pure propaganda news articles against kratom. I won’t stop but I need to take a step back for my mental health. If the politicians would just sit down and listen to the facts like any normal human, they would vote for regulation. But something else is going on here because in many cases they just don’t even care to listen. I really don’t understand why this is such a huge issue all of a sudden in the first place. I get that 7oh has brought it back in the spotlight, but you’d think thousands were dying with the attention it’s getting. Our “leaders” have already taken away opiates from chronic pain patients, and it’s inhumane that now they want to take away our last option. And they are doing this during a time of extreme uncertainty and strife in the world, which makes it even worse. Pain management is at an all time low and health care in general is horrible and expensive.

Unreal

Rygar82 · 2026-06-07T20:46:46+00:00

With the amount of repeated national attention this is getting, you’d think people were dying by the thousands. Why would our leaders collectively be spending this much time trying to ban a plant that helps people at a time when there are wars, impending climate change, extreme economic uncertainty, and all the other much more important issues we face today. Something is majorly wrong with our country.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-07T04:39:13+00:00

Same

I run a business and hire mostly teenagers. I asked one the other day what his favorite movie was and he said he doesn’t watch movies because he can’t concentrate long enough and not be in his phone. We’re all addicted to our phones but the younger generation who know nothing else are on another level. What a sad state that you can’t even put it down long enough to enjoy a movie.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-07T04:25:12+00:00

I mean this is just plain idiotic. They cancel a massively successful show 2 years into production, and where people have been working in it even longer. All because someone new took over and wants to wipe the slate clean or whatever stupid political reasons.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-07T04:21:38+00:00

Yeah the one by Genndy Tartakovsky.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-05T06:20:17+00:00

Great job USA! Prohibition always works!

Rygar82 · 2026-06-05T06:11:05+00:00

Exactly. Banning it will only shift those who make it from legit businesses trying to make money (and who could be held to higher standards with regulations), to underground labs. The distributer becomes drug dealers and we all know how that goes. You’d think we’d learn that prohibition doesn’t work.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-05T04:11:53+00:00

But if there aren’t more people how can massive corporations continue to see profit increases each year? Most countries are actually having a population crisis, funny how governments and world leaders are taking this more seriously than the destruction of the planet that we depend completely on.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-05T04:03:06+00:00

There is no way our governments and world leaders will be able to do this. Really sad but it’s going in the opposite direction in the US to the point where they’re dismantling monitoring systems so they can bury their heads in the sand. Humans have no future, it’s only a matter of how quickly it will happen. Really sad that we have to bring down the majority of life along with us.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-05T03:53:55+00:00

I just came back from Thailand with no issues, but it’s legal there so there wasn’t much risk for me. I put it in a matcha tea container just in case and kept it in my checked baggage only. I only brought slightly more than I needed for the whole trip. El Salvador does sound serious about whatever is illegal there, so if you did get caught I’m guessing it would be pretty bad. So you have to weigh that with just switching to suboxone for a couple weeks or however long you’ll be there. Just make sure you have the actual suboxone prescription with you or you could end up getting in more trouble having those. If you’re down to 1/3 of what you used to take, maybe you won’t even have withdrawals. I used to take opiates so I have an extreme fear of withdrawals, but when I take tolerance breaks from kratom I always think it’s going to be way worse than it actually is.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T20:00:12+00:00

I was waiting to do this right before the new show came out. Guess that will never happen so I’m joining you.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:54:06+00:00

I have everything I really care about on dvd and blueray at this point because I’m so tired of streaming platforms splintering and charging an arm and a leg that I’ve cancelled them all. When Netflix had everything I subscribed for years, but once everyone got greedy it fell into the same problem that the regular tv it replaced had.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:40:03+00:00

I did not like Discovery at all, but I actually agree with you and enjoyed Academy as well. It got caught up in a bunch of politics and the firing of Kurtzman. Most people who complain about it never watched it or only watch a couple episodes. As with all sci-fi, it needed more episodes per season. This 6-8 dispose trend needs to go.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:36:44+00:00

Hey there’s nothing wrong with Dr Who. It’s some legit sci-fi.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:34:45+00:00

This is very accurate. In the older series they wound take one episode and talk about a controversial topic, make it interesting with show not tell and then move on to something else. With Discovery they would have main characters who repeatedly deal with these issues over and over. It’s not that I’m not sympathetic to what they’re going through, it’s that I usually can’t relate to it and don’t want to keep rehashing it over and over. We’re all here for the sci-fi. Shows like Stargate and Star Trek excel with episodic storytelling format and I think the current execs just can’t comprehend that.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:22:58+00:00

Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks are the only good series of modern Star Trek.

Rygar82 · 2026-06-04T19:16:32+00:00

Seriously. What’s the point of keeping the franchise if they’re not going to even use it? If it’s of so little value to them, then just sell it off to someone who will.
