A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
Our Goals
Wait... Do rich people think we need roommates to... MAKE OUR BEDS??? Are they so delusional they think "well I know the poors can't afford maids like me, so how does their bed get made? Oh, I see! This is why they need roommates! They get roommates so the roommate will make their bed!"
Wait, were roommates supposed to be making our beds?
That's it! I'm calling my old roommate to tell her what a bitch she was for only making her own bed.
Aside from the affordability thing...
Do rich people think we make each others beds? Tuck each other in for the night?
we should
Normalize tucking in the homies and kissing them goodnight.
Did you even think this through?
If I tuck them in, they will have to get out of bed to tuck me in. It’s going to create and endless cycle where we are up all night kissing each other.
A better solution is to simply share the same bed and kiss in it.
They think homeowners have roommates to get labor from them. The same way they have servants who cook and clean for them. To them, the idea of not being able to afford housing is literally inconceivable. It’s not even on their radar, because they’ve never had to worry about it before. The only reasons they can think that someone would have a roommate is for convenience.
Oh man, my cousin had a classmate that was shocked and confused when she learned that not everyone had, or could afford, a yacht. To her, that was just something everyone had, because they weren’t that expensive.
Rich people really do cosplay as poor eh
The rich lack the empathy to care that you can't "afford" something. They think everything is a choice. The homeless chose to be homeless as much as they chose to be rich. Fucking delusional evil people!
We are the collection of all of “our” choices.
Even the ones we made before we were born by people we’ll never meet lol
They genuinely believe their familial history and it being the reason they’re rich or privileged enough to become wealthy is their own doing, that they actively participated in creating that opportunity and they’ll call themselves a rags to riches success story for investing a small inheritance or loan of a million dollars into hundreds of millions, saying it was all grind and sheer willpower. They think everyone who didn’t do that is dumber than they are, and then they’ll tell you all about their neat ideas on how scientists and experts are wrong and how all their boys at the private country club told them the real truth about health and economics and women and the poor and anyone who doesn’t believe it is a sucker and deserves it.
It's funny how the most valid part of Christianity, that rich people are the most evil, is the part modern "Christians" reject the most.
Let me translate this thought process from rich asshole to regular human:
They just forgot the part where the people that need roommates don't have money to buy a robot, or pay the subscription for the robot, or the "don't kill me in my sleep" premium upgrade for said robot subscription.
Well you see, if we increase costs to a point where you need to work 100+ hours a week just to survive then you'll have to buy the robot just to do it.
The model is probably that you have to rent or finance the robot or something so that it just costs you productivity instead of a big up-front cost.
Scenario 1:
Scenario 2:
I can see how Scenario 2 will be much better for me. Sign me up.
Side note: That fucking robot better have a handjob mode.
I mean, if you like getting handjobs from an Indian dude remotely controlling your robot, sure I guess? Though expect it to do that thing where it looks like it shuts down and then starts up again as it goes through a bunch of Indian dudes who see the request and then quit their job on the spot. Just hope you don't get one of the ones that punches you first.
Does the robot pay the rent?
No it costs $20,000. Then costs $400/month for the premium Roommate plan. $50 for the AI-compatible sheets only washable by your CoMpAny-ApProVeD washing machine.
Also you pay with your private data

This is just weird
I looked it up thinking there had to be more to this that just isn't pictured here. We're missing context or something
I can find nothing.
This guy literally thinks people have roommates to make their bed for them?
Even thinking people have roommates to help with chores, instead of bills, why the fuck would he think the main chore we need help with is "making my bed"?
Like I'm going to bring somebody else into my house so they can make my bed for me? My bed? That's weird as fuck
Maybe he thinks roommates is what poor people call their maids?
Though I'd happily make my potential roommates bed every morning instead of paying rent.
Who makes their bed, anyway? I cannot think of a reason to do so.
I rarely do, there's usually a cat or three on it
My aunt once told me "making your bed is like making yourself a present you can unwrap later".
Didn't inspire me at all
As someone who has perpetually battled the blankets never being correct - you're gonna end up doing it anyway. The only difference is that one way looks much nicer than the other, and has the added benefit of being a start-up ritual.
My mom just moved into an assisted-living facility and immediately had a fall trying to make her own bed. They of course make the beds for you there but only after breakfast and my mom's mind at 7:30 am couldn't handle the "mess" ... of one corner of the blanket being turned down. Meanwhile I just sleep on my mattress with a mexican blanket over me.
About what I'd expect from people that have to pay for friends
What a fucking idiot. How out-of-touch can they be!?
It's so out of touch that it flips around to being some bizarro joke that no comedian could actually come up with. So far removed from the reassuring embrace of reason, yet somehow manages to capture everything wrong with this world in but a few words. It's... beautiful.
I refuse to believe that there's a bipedal robot that can make my bed, with out ridiculous specific programming.
I'm imagining that guy spraying water in the face of a whimpering man chained to a radiator while yelling "Shut up! Bad roommate!"
No, the robot killed the "need a maid" argument.
No, the robot killed Grandma when it glitched out (having never properly functioned to start) fell on her and punctured her lung.
At first I thought that robot was folding a person into that bed.
Instead of sharing rent with a roommate, people will now not want to save money and actually pay more by purchasing a robot.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
This looks like bad translation. For many asian languages the words maid and mate look sound quite similar. And the distance from house too room might also just be bad translation. Aaand if you change room mate to house maid the headline makes a LOT more sense...
What's even funnier is that the video of the robot making the bed was AI generated. This bed making robot doesn't even exist, yet guy has to shame people having roommates? :D
