#### First and Foremost
Have you guys looked at 100 days of Steem lately? 

##### More like 100 days of "How many ways can we think of to get the community to build the value for us."

# Seriously though
The SMT testnet is up and running and they make no mention of it?  Steem and Hive should be racing as fast as they can to get this mythical unicorn asset up and running as fast as possible.  We've been blindly promising SMTs to the community for years, and it is so close to becoming a reality.  

Instead Steemit continues on this journey of making proposals that the community do all the work?  Obviously JSun has no plans to continue development himself.  Hive needs to push SMTs so the world knows that he can't keep up with our development.  We know it, sure, but the outside world just sees those dollar signs and thinks the Tron foundation has the money to fund anything.  

# A Steem mentoring system?  
Interesting, because we were just talking about automating this process in discord with @ericwilson.  You don't manually run around teaching everyone how to use Condenser... you create a much simpler frontend that only has the bare essentials, and then opens up functionality slowly while teaching the user everything.  Same as the tutorials found in video games. 

# Gaming on Steem?
Really? And the first game you list is Drugwars?  Woof.  
You guys are reaching. 
Why would anyone want to create a game on Steem?

If they happen to make it and become a whale then they have to worry about being frozen by the one person in control. 

Why create a game on the platform when all the real devs and support and community jumped ship?  

# Speaking of games

I played a game of Go yesterday.  First time since Oct 2018 apparently.  Wiped the floor with this guy as White 141.5 points to 59.  Looks like I still got it.  Go is the oldest boardgame in the world (4000 years old at least).  Predates Christianity; true story. 

# AMAZON
Operations is escalating even further with their "tactics" to stop the spread of Corona Virus. Masks are now required, and a lot of people are very annoyed by this.  A quarter of associates at the facility pull the mask down under their chin because they are so annoying.  

Personally I bring my own mask that was given to me by my very fearful and politically proactive girlfriend.  She still manages to be very worried even though we think we already had the thing.  She'll be the first one to take an antibody test when it becomes available. 

It's nice to see the resistance to the masks... I hope there will be hell to pay if Amazon attempts to force vaccinations on us.  I will have to go full Christian Scientist and religious freedom in that event.  Fuck Bill Gates.  His abysmal track record is being exposed on a daily basis, and even his doctor has come forward and said he rejected vaccinations for his own children.  

# Conclusion
I'm late to a gathering. 
Oh wait I'm not supposed to admit that. 
Keep your social distance, friends.
