I worked four years as an in-house photographer without ever even meeting my manager post-interview but that's not a field that calls for adult ballpits either so

Same. Did a fuckton of video and graphics work and the most I'd see of my higher ups would be the occasional email with revisions.

use mom.com to pay bills, do laundry, clean your house, and generally infantalize you, all for only $199/month

There's a smart phone app for that called Alfred that hires a minimum wage butler to use your apps for you and to deliver you groceries and other basic adult things

lmao seriously this won a stupid tech event as the STARTUP BATTLEFIELD winner

quote:

Afterward, your “Alfred” will head over weekly to drop off your clean laundry, put it in the closet, drop off your household supplies, and replace supplies as needed – like putting new paper towels on a towel holder, for example

The stupidest part of this is that they repackaged hiring some help into a smartphone app and this is somehow supposed to be fresh and innovative.

Edit: the name is really stupid too

how much do you pay the "butlers"

e: i actually dont have a problem with grocery deliver per se, i get a CSA every month. but having a loving butler come in and "change your paper towel holder" is just absolutely stupid

I had a roommate in college who didn't know laundry was a thing you had to do so no doubt there's a real target market here

imo they should write an app that makes em less spergy in public


like they're about to mention their anime pillows and on their gizoogle glass a giant red pop up shows up and tells them to knock it off

also, it electroshocks them and sterilizes them
