TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name @lemmy.world

5d ago

Welcome to TenForward, home of the TenForward, can I take your order?

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.

Love you buddy. You'll do well <3
- ~~please don't your squad of hit-meese to kill me~~
  
  He 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

Glad you're here!
- Thanks. Just following your guy's lead.
  
  Neat videos .... did someone remove the background on these videos?

Do not treat Tankies fairly or with respect. Tolerance paradox and all that.
Imagine they're a bad mirror universe.

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:
- Obligatory:
  Also an intriguing video mashup!

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.

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!

- BTW .... happy to hear you taking the job ... just don't spill the drinks or set fire to the bar

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.
- Me, as a YouTube reactor: “Chat, this is just temporary… right?”
- Appreciate the vote of confidence.
  
  affirmative grunt

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.

Uh, yeah whatever. A rootbeer and two hours on the Vulcan Love Slaves of Terrix IV.
- That's the creepy spirit!
- 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?

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.
  
  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. :-(

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.?

Can i still call you Old Man? Do you carry the stamets symbiote
- I carry his spirit, if you will.

- I still don't quite understand that whole story arc

We are lucky to have you!
- Glad to be of service.
  This image is in no way intentionally ominous, just where my head went.
  
  My Big Lebowski postthis morning was supposed to be a subtle welcome, but I don't think it was very clear
  
  _And look at that ‘orse _
