All text below can be safely disregarded. I just didn't want to delete so the context of the other comment could at least be maintained.

Original Title: "Goodbye for now"

Sidenote: This will be the last meme I'm going to post for a while. Things just exploded in my face and "crisis" isn't strong enough word. I'm not doing okay and I don't want to be whining in the comments or maybe lashing out at people because I'm stressed and afraid.

I'll be back when I can. I dunno when that will be. Love you guys.

Live long and prosper πŸ––

Edit: Fucking computers with fucking people and fucking close deadlines and shit being fucking received days before a fucking letter is supposed to go out so the fucking letter is sent fucking preemptively and gives me a fucking stroke.

I'm not going anywhere. Love y'all.

Oh, whatever. Niles would volunteer for assimilation by the Borg Queen if she promised him an invitation to the Collective’s Annual Charity Benefit.

My only regret is I can but upvote you once

I don't think so. He wouldn't be part of the upper class anymore as there are no classes. He'd be shock a commoner!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn't he consider the collective the upper class, and any non-Borg the commoners? Although he might be at odds with the whole "assimilate" thing.

@Stamets thanks for all you've been doing for us. Hope to see you again soon. Take care of yourself.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Luckily crisis has been averted. Still sticking around for now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you resolve the issue in about 40 minutes, that's impressive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It turned out there was no issue. System had sent automatic notifications and no one caught it. But the first person I called confirmed it. That's when I made the post to try and distract myself a little. Then I went to work fixing it. When I finally got off hold, the next person explained the issue wasn't an issue.

Yes I feel stupid as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DO NOT feel stupid because of absurd shit beyond your control, please and thank you. You're not. You're smart and clever and produce quality memes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I dumbdumb

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In that case, just keep taking care of yourself.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you as well. Thanks <3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wishing you the very best. πŸ––

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apparently your best did it. Problem is now solved. Thank you <3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Had I known, I would have assisted sooner <3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wait… so thoughts and prayers actually work?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Glad to hear the explosion has been contained and that you can stand down red alert.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Level 10 containment field just happened to be enough apparently.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, I'm glad your issues seem to be fixed ~~and that I get more memes~~

Computers and people really are stupid sometimes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate this with all my being.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes.... Let the hate flow through you....

Wait, wrong franchise.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Tossed starships and scrambled sith. I think it went.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Live long and prosper stamets. Here's to hoping you come out the other side of your crisis as the emissary of memes. 🫑

Oof, edit sounds like you've earned the right to send someone this:

Fucking computers with fucking peeler and fucking close deadlines and shit being fucking received days before a fucking letter is supposed to go out so the fucking letter is sent fucking preemptively and gives me a fucking stroke.

I'm so tired of your exaggerating, you always make things 15 thousand times worse than they are!

I'm glad things ended up working out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good callback to Battle of Sector 001 as the USS Bozeman was there in the fight (you can hear it mentioned in the radio chatter).

Now if it's that Bozeman that's.. desperate since I don't see 23rd century ships doing anything to a cube other than "tank a couple of shots" so I hope it's a Bozeman-A. Like to think Capt. Frazier was still in command.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a book called Ship of the Line that states it was indeed a new ship, the Bozeman-A but still under command of Bateson. Granted it's not considered canon but still fun. Someone mentioned it here on /c/StarTrek recently and I started to read it. Pretty interesting!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No kidding and holy shit a Sovereign class too. That's quite an upgrade

While I understand your reasons for not wanting to share your problems, I feel like this is a cultural thing and that it is in general a bad thing.

You're obviously not the kind of person to go around begging for other people's help, but at someone else who is similar, I feel strongly that there is a group of people here who would have your back, whether through a GoFundMe or whatever.

Can't wait for your triumphant return, Stamets. In the meantime, I hope you consider opening up so your fellow Trekkies can show the power of Federation and Friendship.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well luckily I don't have to go anywhere. I derped heavily and probably posted it too earlier. Whether or not people would donate to a GoFundMe will have to forever remain to be seen though. No matter what happens with me, I don't want to have to break that 'social contract' with everyone. I have no doubt some people would help but I don't want to put anyone in that situation, myself included. I like just being the silly meme guy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have no doubt some people would help but I don’t want to put anyone in that situation, myself included.

The most stressful part of life is that the most compassionate people understand that everyone is in nearly the same bad situation they are in, and it makes it hard to want to ask for help from people struggling as much as you are.

However, it doesn't have to be that way, and we don't have to punish ourselves from needing help from our peers. I don't have much to give, but I know, in aggregate, every little bit helps. We're all struggling out here, and we may not be able to give everything to one another, but we can give compassion, and whatever help we can muster. And that means something.

It's hard to not have the inclusivity and outright hope from Star Trek influence how I feel in Star Trek forums. The hope for a better future where we work together collectively for a better future for all matters, in my opinion.

I genuinely hope for the best for you, and all my fellow Trek nerds.
