Haha, the guy in this meme is exactly how I'd picture a financial advisor in 2030.

Pretty sure that's John Hamm with photoshopped hair?

AMC's new period drama Mad Bros

[–] donslaught@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

That's Jon Hamm's head with Patrick Mahomes' hair.

Bro there are financial advisors, i.e bank tellers, who look like this now

[–] Lawdoggo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

taking financial advice from a bank teller

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago

Bank tellers are not financial advisors lmao.

I can tell this is old because the tip selection doesn't go up to 30%+.

Seriously, tipping is getting out of hand. I compromised by going above 15% to begin with, I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I go above 20% and I will die on this hill.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 years ago

Don't tip non-service oriented people at all. You shouldn't tip a gas station attendant for ringing up your bottle of water. Just stick to the traditional tipping industries tipping everyone helps no one except for the credit card processing companies, since the people getting those tips now have to turn around and hand them to someone else every time they spend their money. It's all a scam by the processing companies.

Last time I was in the states for a conference I had to do a self checkout in a shop and the machine asked for a tip.....

FOR WHO? I did everything myself? Do you pay these machines a salary too low to survive as well?

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 2 years ago

Doesn't hurt to ask. And the tip is for the CEO.

[–] smokingManhole@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Future's looking sus, major oof vibes

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

Bruh, market's gone down the skibidi toilet. Everyone's big mad fr fr.

The famous "Meet me at McDonald's" haircut.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A tip? Sure, you can have 30% of my debt as a tip

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

Right? A % of lost money means he'll give me money, right?

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly these guys would be the easiest shit for AI to replace right? Even if the AI just picks ETFs it'll beat most of them anyways

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They were already replaced nearly 50 years ago when index funds were invented. There's tons of data showing that financial advisors perform worse than a simple low fee index fund.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Sure, until it’s just AIs running markets, and then companies. Neuromancer is literally about AIs running massive multi-generational businesses. And then super fast whatever the best AI is pursues instrumental convergence to completion

There's an app for Android that's an idle game based on the paper clip theory

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Makes sense. Universal Paperclips has been out for 6 years and is the classic

Is that John Hamm with a TikTok Broccoli-boy haircut?

[–] Spendrill@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Broccoli-boy haircut

It will be a cold day in Hell before I take any kind of advice from someone whose style guru is Bellwether from Zootopia.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Wow, it's true.

John Hamm never ages.

[–] XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Look at that tribble on dude's head.

But yeah, American tipping culture is out of control. They are even making me choose whether or not to tip at fast food restaurants now...

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

“Next investment Gucci Gang. Bet.”

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Only -50%? Fucking rookie numbers, bro.

Try -99%

[–] TheGIGAcapitalist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Don't worry he's already getting a 2.3% tip every year.

[–] DannyMac@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What film is this screenshot from?

[–] Codeviper828@lemmus.org 1 points 3 months ago

The subtotal was $13.24. I choose to believe that's half this guy's net worth
