You know how you go to your favorite bar, your local bartender isn’t there.
You ask, “Where’s Stamets?”
“Stamet’s no longer works here. I’m ummthatguy.”
And you’re thinking “Hey who’s this idiot? I like Stamets.”
But you still want your drink. And even though ummthatguy doesn’t mix your drink the same way you’re used to, like Stamets, you still like the bar. You don’t have to go to a different bar. And even ummthatguy might feel kinda bad because Stamets trained him. Stamets showed him how to work the cash register, where the tonic was on the soda gun, who tips, who doesn’t.
Stamets is the SNL Weekend Update Norm Macdonald to my Colin Quinn.

Glad you’re here!
Thanks. Just following your guy’s lead.
Neat videos … did someone remove the background on these videos?
I believe they were in Quark’s after hours, so it’s just dark.
And you’re thinking “Hey who’s this idiot? I like Stamets.”
Yeah, we all like him - but you know what, we like you too:-).
And now to Trek this comment up a bit:
I’d try act more surprised but I’ve noticed you’ve been running this bar for a while
I was just a bar back, but now I gotta help restock the shelves, throw out the belligerents, empty the holosuite filters, etc.
Love you buddy. You’ll do well <3
please don’t your squad of hit-meese to kill meHe don’t need no squad - if he’s got the right one!
Glad you came about! Hope things are going better for ya.
They’re not, but I appreciate it. Just heard about the post and figured I’d stop by for a second <3
Do not treat Tankies fairly or with respect. Tolerance paradox and all that.
Imagine they’re a bad mirror universe.
BTW … happy to hear you taking the job … just don’t spill the drinks or set fire to the bar
It’s all part of the show.

It was like that when I got here
This may not be the day you die, but when you do, stamets will wait for you in sto vo kor.
Glory to the house of ummthatguy!
I honestly already thought you were a mod here lol
Nah, just a regular who kept sneaking behind the bar to make my own drinks. Guess they figured “Why fight it?” and had me start helping out.
Like that tribble trader when that Klingon insulted the Enterprise. He started pushing buttons, worked out fiiine.
Me, as a YouTube reactor: “Chat, this is just temporary… right?”
But, seriously, congrats. You’ll be mostly fine.

Wtf is that disgusting non-coffee substance doing in that cup?!
Current Mods, I demand that you remove this foul comment made by this non-mod poster at once!
(J/k btw - feeling better yet by the time you read this? Don’t push yourself if not, healing takes time, but is worth the effort! Says the former crazy person (me). Also current too.:-)
I’ll allow it. By Prodigy season 2, The Janeway had switched to tea. Doctor’s orders.
Upon seeing her future self:
That… or else she drank all the coffee in the universe by that point already, and the story was just a cover.:-)
Tbf, coming face to face with yourself is likely traumatic. And she’s done it numerous times!:-P
Appreciate the vote of confidence.
affirmative grunt
Uh, yeah whatever. A rootbeer and two hours on the Vulcan Love Slaves of Terrix IV.
Uh, the suites are currently occupied. Vic’s got a set going, then Chief O’Brien and his boytoy are “fighting” the Battle of the Bulge. The jokes practically write themselves.
Friends like these, huh Morn?
Morn:
Huh, must have not posted on account of going over the word limit.
That’s the creepy spirit!
Yeah, what’s going on with Stamets? I saw someone say he made a post about leaving the other day, but I looked through his profile and found no such post.
What little I’ve picked up is that the combination of life stress and social media induced stress came to a head. So they cut themselves loose and left. It’s a bummer, but I hope doing so will help them be well.
Aw man, that is too bad.
I hope wherever he is he finds some peace and feels better. It is a rough time out there, I hope my sending positive vibes finds him, even if it isn’t much.
For whatever it’s worth, this place has been a massive place of comfort for me and that is in a large part because of them. I went through the shit for most of last year and had some breakdowns and this community really helped.
And you too ummthatguy, you’re awesome and you’ve made me laugh so many times. I couldn’t think of a better member of the community to help mod it, thanks for all you do.
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world isn’t entirely wrong. I’ve been dealing with some shit for the better part of the last year. It is also my birthday in a few days and while that’s a celebration for other people, it’s a severe stressor for me thanks to some past trauma. I overreacted. That’s why I deleted the leaving post. I’ll probably be back. Might be a couple weeks. Might be a month or two. I don’t know. I’m just struggling and adding in the extra stress of Lemmy is a straw I just can’t handle.
Not likely I’ll come back in a moderator capacity unless directly asked. There’s no reason for me to be on the team. Everything runs smoothly and sufficiently without me and I’m not egotistical enough to be like “I WANT THAT GREEN M NEXT TO MY NAME AGAIN”.
Hope that helps to you, @Kolanaki@pawb.social and @OpenStars@piefed.social
Thank you for thinking of us - you rock dude!
I am both sad to see you take time away, combined with very happy that you are doing precisely that, bc it will help provide what you need and it’s great to see you be proactive like that. Be well my dude!:-) 😎 💪 And then enjoy coming to Lemmy again (naw, fuck Lemmy, I mean Ten Forward!) instead of dreading it :-).
They will be missed.
And don’t diminish your own contribution to our little hub.
How far we’ve all come. Hell, you even stopped calling me Kevin.
Wait… is it “they” or “he”? I thought Stamets self identified as a gay man? Have I been doing it wrong by saying “he”? It’s fine if you are just aiming for generic, I’m just focused here on if my usage was wrong, but if both are acceptable then that’s cool too, I just wanted to confirm.:-)
I was being generic. My policy is to abide by Bill & Ted’s Law: Be excellent to each other.
This extends to include minding chosen pronouns. That aside, I find it acceptable to use they/them/dude/guys as terms that cover whoever, per context.
Yaaas queen! 👑
(Like that!?! :-P)
Bingo.
Good for them. Sounds like me with Facebook in like 2016. And then Twitter when Musky bought it. And Reddit mostly when they killed 3rd party apps. Come to think of it, social media mostly sucks.
Same - he seems to have deleted the goodbye post and left the Fediverse even before that post had time to be federated around to the different instances. :-(
Okay but the thing is I’m delightful and I tip and I only ever seem to get snark ; _ ;
Live long and prosper, Stamets. We’ll be here if you ever decide to come back.
Via con dios, Stamets, and welcome ummthatguy!
I’ll have something… green.
Currently out of green. Try this.
Vaya*

Stamets is the SNL Weekend Update Norm Macdonald to my Colin Quinn.
Norm was the goat. But Colin was criminally under-appreciated.
Thanks for Guinan us through these days!
When a friend asks for help… You help them! It’s just…
… that it happened as the result of losing a fondly remembered founding member of our nice, quiet little beach community here.
Is this your only form of I.D.?
