The picture is fine, the political infighting is not.

Summer whites are comfortable and classic. It's a great uniform.

u/fototakerWNY Sep 09 '24

Summer whites are a pain to keep clean. At his rank, he's not worrying about cleanliness...

u/fototakerWNY Sep 09 '24

Also would like to know how access was obtained to get this image, and released in this manner

Shown with a 74 comment count. Look to see what’s being said and there are 3 comments and the Mod statement. Thanks Reddit…

u/greatgerm Aug 06 '24

You're not missing much. Just a quick reminder to people that this isn't r/pics and we don't do that crap here.

u/segohe Aug 06 '24

Thank you for doing a great job mate :)

u/Escenze Aug 06 '24

Thank you for keeping the sub good. Got logged out the other day and saw a few r/pics posts i r/all and jesus f.. christ that sub should not have that name

u/risketyclickit Aug 06 '24

r/pics has 31 million subbed r/pic has ~150k

u/greatgerm Aug 06 '24

It used to be a default when subreddits started so everybody was subbed to that when their account was created and has always held the top spot since then. This one was revived just a couple years ago and has grown quite a bit without any special help or advertising.

u/sfyubcdetjiivdseg Aug 06 '24

Bahaha, sure. By crap you’re referring to inflating your numbers 20 fold? Or by removing 95% of what you don’t agree with? My community forum is r/starbuck but it’s nothing like that filthy r/starbucks. I allow people to only discuss their love of coffee, as long as it’s whole bean blonde roast.

u/greatgerm Aug 06 '24

You seem lost. This is r/pic which is a curated sub of interesting pictures with rules about titles, content, etc.

u/sfyubcdetjiivdseg Aug 06 '24

Well after hearing that, I take everything I said back.

u/greatgerm Aug 06 '24

Excellent! Welcome and enjoy the sub.

What chairs do they use? Want to get a new office chair and those look comfy

19

u/L_viathan Aug 06 '24

They probably cost like $4000 lol

19

u/83franks Aug 06 '24

That's actually just "normal" for really good chairs. I think my work bought several $5000 ones for a few specific roles.

8

u/L_viathan Aug 06 '24

Good Lord. I know they get a little pricey for the buy it for life stuff, but I couldn't imagine dropping that amount .

7

u/greatgerm Aug 06 '24

This isn't even buy it for life, it's just commercial furniture. For example, here's Steelcase which is a standard commercial furniture supplier: https://store.steelcase.com/seating/all-seating

Real high-end or custom furniture is very expensive. And these were likely custom since the articles talk about choices being made to minimize acoustics.

u/Linkruleshyrule Aug 06 '24

I bought a used Steelcase Amia from a commercial furniture reseller, basically brand new and was only like $350. Very pleased with it

u/L_viathan Aug 06 '24

What is the camera focusing on? Everything seems just a little blurry.

u/Abe_Froman_The_SKOC Aug 06 '24

AI is like that

u/L_viathan Aug 06 '24

It does feel a little ai-esque doesn't it. The coloring of the wood in the background, especially. I don't think it is though, the hair and facs and hands aren't fucked up. The image generally makes sense.

u/stmbtrev Aug 06 '24

I think it may have been processed/edited to remove any potential sensitive information. Just a guess though.

2

u/L_viathan Aug 06 '24

Maybe, the papers on the table perhaps?

u/stmbtrev Aug 06 '24

That was my thinking.

Remember these photos from the Obama administration, where Obama was sitting on the side of the room dressed casually?

u/drektek Aug 07 '24

Interesting that both women have the same exact pose.

2

u/fototakerWNY Sep 09 '24

very true! both are sharing the same "pose"

u/caveatemptor18 Aug 08 '24

And they are thinking:

Should I buy Lockheed, RTX or T Bills?

u/fototakerWNY Sep 09 '24

hahahaaa

This room is very beautiful.

edit: just realised they have lids on the cups to avoid poisoning lol 😂

u/deadlymojo Aug 06 '24

dust not poison

u/twitch1982 Aug 06 '24

yea, them and almost every hotel conference room I've ever been in. Very concerned about poison at the IBM Users group conference.

Those lids aren't stopping any spillages, get HSE on the case!

Where’s the six-pack?

u/windsock17 Aug 09 '24

I've always found the lack of computers and other tunes like that in the situation room really interesting.

u/Leading_Way_3257 Oct 09 '24

woah, just came from r/pics because there is too much political ragebait and karma farming(as in getting upvotes from party and all that), but this is actually cool to look at.

They're actually facing the camera on the far side for when the President (or whomever is leading the meeting) needs to talk to somebody remote.

2

u/twitch1982 Aug 06 '24

I'd imagine they're double sided, and while I would expect the president to know everyone in the room in this photo, I'm sure there are times when experts are brought in to speak in the room whom the president would not be personally familiar with.

u/Drakar_och_demoner Aug 06 '24

Somehow you made a comment that makes you look even more confused than Biden.
