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.

    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.

    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.

    Me, as a YouTube reactor: "Chat, this is just temporary... right?"

    But, seriously, congrats. You'll be mostly fine.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Do not treat Tankies fairly or with respect. Tolerance paradox and all that.

    Imagine they're a bad mirror universe.
