    I refuse to believe that there’s a bipedal robot that can make my bed, with out ridiculous specific programming.

        Is there video evidence of one of these robots making a bed? I don’t even care if it’s fully cherry-picked; I’d be impressed just to see it happen mechanically. Tucking the fitted sheet around the corners is not a simple task.

      There’s not. These ridiculous things can barely walk or fill a glass of water outside of highly controlled settings.

    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!

        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.

    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!”

    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

    Let me translate this through process from rich asshole to regular human:

    • People need roommates because they cannot afford to live on their own.
    • The reason they cannot afford to live on their own is because they aren’t working enough hours (to make him more money.
    • The reason they aren’t working enough hours is because they have to spend too much time engaged in activities that aren’t work.
    • A robot frees them of having to do things that aren’t work.
    • Thefore a domestic robot will make his workers do more work and achieve their purpose of working and paying all their bills.

      He will also make money renting domestic robots to his workers and take the cost off their paychecks while also spying on them at home and selling that data to other companies.

      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.

    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.

      People need roommates because they don’t make enough money to live on their own. He concludes that the reason they don’t have enough money is because they aren’t working hard enough for him because they have to do so many domestic chores. This robot promises to free you from the “profitless” enterprise of doing things that aren’t making money for him.

        I get that, and while that’s super out of touch with pretty much everything, to me, that’s the least weird thing about this

        Lets go with his logic and pretend we do need roommates for chores.

        Out of all of the chores he thinks I need help with he thinks it’s making my bed? Not dishes, or cleaning, or shopping… making my bed? And not even my own bed, he thinks I have a roommate who comes into my room and makes my bed for me?

        He thinks we all have strangers living in our houses to make our beds for us?

        Yeah it’s stupid as hell that this man thinks we have roommates as maids instead of people to help pay bills, but it’s even more stupid that he thinks the #1 chore that we would need these people for is bed making. And now that there’s a robot that can make your bed for you, that’s it? That’s the end of roommates?

        I don’t need a robot to cook for me or clean for me or anything else? Bed making is the end game?

        WTF is wrong with this man. This is all so fucking weird

          I get that

          I don’t think you got it.

          They’re saying the guy thinks you have roommates because you can’t afford rent, not because you need someone to do chores. You make your own bed in his world, but making the bed and other domestic chores are so time consuming that you cannot work enough to make enough money to not have a roommate.

          That is, he thinks if you don’t have chores then you can work more, earn more, afford no roommate.

          It’s super out of touch as you said, but he’s not suggesting roommates do your bed.

    Aside from the affordability thing…

    Do rich people think we make each others beds? Tuck each other in for the night?

    Wait, are we sure hes not making fun of the purchaser? Like, “You obviously dont need a roommate to lower expenses if you can afford a robot that makes your bed”? Thus killing the argument?

    Am i missing something here? To me, this reads “people lazy, thats why poor” not “roommates exist as glorified trad wives”?

      “You obviously dont need a roommate to lower expenses if you can afford a robot that makes your bed”

      Yeah I think that’s what he has to be saying and just worded it poorly. The only way any of this makes any bit of sense is if he’s saying “If you have enough money to have your own personal robot, then you probably aren’t so broke that you need a roommate to cover half the rent.”
