You're not wrong! Most of the cables in my house have velcro to minimize their length and they definitely look better than this.
That being said my basement definitely has some zip tie "cable holders" 😁 just round loops where I ran network and fiber through to suspend it from the ceiling.
well see obviously you hide valuables in one safe and junk in the other two so that you only have a 1/3 chance of losing important stuff if you're robbed
/s
Easy fix just building cabinets to fit over them so it looks symmetrical and not like you just bolted safes to the floor in your living room but then this wouldn't be a male living space
i also think that if you didn't ask your wife first, and especially don't recognize the error of your ways now, you should have just filed for divorce and figured out who was getting the house before installing the safes
i am the sort of person who will happily live in an industrial warehouse and i am not stupid enough to announce "hey i found our new home: an industrial warehouse" to anyone who has not been given the chance to object
Everything else aside (including the floor lamp on the safe) why didn't he just buy one bigger safe? Is it normal to need separate safes for separate toxic masculinity collections? "The third safe? It's for my fedoras"
Even the dog knows how bad this setup is. Telling his buddies at the dog park that he can't even complain about the height of the tv because of everything else.
Yeah that one showed up for me on my infrequently-used reddit account. I downvoted it and moved on, but now from this comment chain it sounds like it got insane
Bolted to the concrete foundation, like what you think someone is going to drive an armored car through the wall, attach a log chain to the truck and around the safe and yank it out of there. It needed to be BOLTED down too?
Good luck selling the house after the divorce dumbass.
Nah, my son lives on his own and manages to have adult furniture and even stuff on the walls. Also books and fun bits and pieces and has set up his turntable and speakers properly. Even my ex did better than this although the 1st thing he bought was a surround sound system.
He could drape fabric over the short one and use a glass top, make it look like a side table. I think a cabinet facade with a door would work on the tall safe🤔
I am constantly complaining that the design trend of "everything is a big grey box" needs to die, and this man is taking that trend to new heights of awfulness.
I think watches are cool, and I’m not a gun guy, but I can sorta understand the appeal. I absolutely cannot in a million years fathom spending thousands of dollars on a watch or gun while my living situation still looked that barren and uncomfortable
ok that specific lamp isnt even like normal lamp height right?? thats like the height you would want a lamp to be to use as a reading light beside an armchair. DOG CMON
Ok safes aside, if you're gonna have such a dinky entertainment center at least do some cable management. That's what looks terrible to me. Run that shit through the wall or at least in a single cable keeper to the floor
Male living space subreddit is seriously one of the most entertaining places on the internet.
Oh, you live in a shed and have multiple human skeletons just hanging out, but you are just asking about what kind of rug will tie it all together? Sure, man. We got you.
Personally I can’t imagine having enough money for a watch collection that would warrant a safe and yet still being reluctant to call the safe guys back plus a contractor to replace the tile they drilled through.
But...but... Why is a floor lamp on top of the safe? I mean, the safes (saves?) are certainly a (bad) living room choice, but the lamp on top is...
(I used to date a guy like this, he would get an idea in his head and rearrange our apartment on a whim. It didn't end well.)
A proper stand to hold the electronics and speakers for a TV that size would be like $500 at the extreme high end. Or a TV three times that size for maybe a grand. An in-wall cable passthru for $20 and a couple hours of work. I am so glad I never pursued firearms as a hobby.
I’ve never received any signs ever that would make me think this was a good call in the moment. I’m not doing a “not all men” reply, I’m just so in awe of what it’s like to move through the world in this guys brain.
I require double confirmation just for framed pictures.
Safes that can easily be seen from the window at left. Always good to advertise you own multiple safes, in a location where people can even see when you're opening them and how.
If he wanted easy access to the gun safe, why not put the huge one in the garage where he can get into it on his way to the range and then keep a locked weapon in his bedroom side table or something.
Good job he has all those firearms to protect his property otherwise he might need to bolt massive safes into his living room floor and that would look ridiculous.
I'm dead at the bolted to floor and "it will look cool" part. Lmfao. I can whole heartdly relate to it not looking the same in my head as I thought it would part. Absolutly my man.
My question here is whether they're self winding watches (common at that price point) because those will stop if not on tilted rotating displays and are a bitch to wind up again.
"haha no babe I know we're married but YOU CANNOT SEE INSIDE MY WATCH SAFE yeah that's just normal husband stuff DO NOT LOOK IN THERE haha bluebeard? no never heard of him"
She’s seen the watches but can’t appraise a watch collection at a glance and he probably told her he got every watch for a “great deal” which he meant as “market price” and she interpreted as “not a huge amount of money”
And also! My husband and I need to buy a safe. The discussion regarding where to put said safe has been ongoing. They talked about this. She absolutely said at some point, no, you cannot put them in the living room and he completely ignored it because he was being lazy and wanted to show off.
Reminds when my dad took my mom's sensible car in to get repaired and came back with a brand new Firebird without asking her to be 'her' new car. She was absolutely livid. Basically the "Homer buying Marge a bowling ball for her birthday".
yeah I was like "meh, it's just a sparse basement man-cave, whatevs", but like LIVING ROOM? brah, sell off the surely-hideous watches and buy some fucking furniture, put that eyesore behind a folding screen and like five dracaenas 😒
If this was a man cave, I would have said "hey, at least he knows the word minimalism."
But living room? Calling the safe movers will be cheaper than calling the divorce attorney.
i've played enough video games online, people don't need easy access to firearms when they get teabagged in Halo, and that guy's got gaming stuff right next to his gun safe
Posting a pic of your two safes on the Internet surely won't encourage any home invaders to take you hostage & torture you untill you reveal the combos, I'm sure...
If you ever need an argument for raising taxes, this guy spent more disposable income I have probably ever seen in my life on two safes, guns, and watches
I have seen two different men who had large gun safes and a wife. One man refused to listen to input. That man is now divorced. The other man thoughtfully asked and conferred and they both chose the location. He is now married to the other guy’s ex-wife.
People who think people are out to steal from them are worthy people to avoid. Also if you have no kids, gun safes are useless. We had a deadbolted closet. But in emergency, I could kick that door off it's hinges.
I feel like he’s spending waaaay too much of his income on watches and guns. He needs to buy, like, a table, at least. Also, though, we don’t know that the watches actually need a safe, only that they have one.
Imagine bolting shit to the foundation of your home for watches and guns, meanwhile in the middle of the room you're balancing a cardboard box on speakers and placing a cable box on top of the turntable you can't use, and then decorating it with random bits of toys and junk draw crap.
wait thats a box for a soundbar, which doesn't seem to be present, and he has to move the cable box in order to play a record, where is the record player even plugged into? usually don't see this kind of thing without a wire spool coffee table
I think there's a mini amp on top of the right speaker, so that's probably what the record player's plugged into. But yeah I don't get the soundbar box. Maybe it's still in the box and he's hoping putting it there will remind him to install it?
My college dorm room was better organized than this
I’ve never had a wife but I feel like even I understand the theory of wives well enough to know to get her opinion on where the immovable safes should go
No way is that little one over 2000 lbs, but if I were a safe delivery guy I would absolutely tell all kinds of lies to the dumb schmucks ordering them. I bet this guy hasn't ever changed to combinations
For some reason I was okay with one safe but why does he have two safes. Why does he need two safes with him when he watches TV. Does he think you're more safe if you have more safes?
I'm honestly surprised that it isn't ex-wife at this point. And I'm recognizing my own flaws because I saw the exposed wiring on everything connected to the TV and the (ironing table?) it's sitting on before I noticed the second safe.
(Also, we bought a sectional a few weeks ago and, while we were shopping for it, every time we walked by something that looked like that, my wife's eyes would start to twitch. Looking at you, the Bob's Discount Furniture "Sectional Bob")
A friend just married a minimalist guy, and they just officially moved into their new place. I’m watching their two very different approaches to stuff and hoping they work it out.
Minimalism doesn’t have to be this soulless nothing setup. People who live like this say they’re “minimalist” because well they’re mistaken that’s all.
this is what i imagine mailorder-brides-for-citizenship often get. Just, a man with enough cash to cover the import fees and taxes and a woman with no options
Yeah, that table choice creates empty space that makes the safes look even worse. Working with the safe problem they already have, fix the table issue. Then build bookshelves into the wall so the safes don't stick out. Consider putting them behind doors in the new wall-dominating bookshelf.
oh my goodness he has SUCH an opportunity to turn this into a Price is Right themed space. with a little color and a lot of lights, I think we could make this livable. oh my yes.

Zip typing cables into circles for length and then letting them hang and calling it "minimalism" - lol.

someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying
A) Guns
B) Old iPhone cases
C) Trophies from his victims
...wait, is terrible design taste a symptom of toxoplasmosis?

It looks like manchild's first apartment.
Also, that looks like a pretty damned small living room for a "I have a 2000lb safe for my watch collection"
He didn't schedule it for when his wife was going to be around for certain
Good luck selling the house after the divorce dumbass.
Can't wait the extra 15 seconds to get the gun from another room before going to the range?
What the hell is in the 3rd safe? Cufflinks?

Also the tall lamp on top of another safe LMFAO
I bet they feel very safe in that room 💜
I would say bookshelves too, but we all know he doesn’t read much.

Take the L, you absolute doofus.
Love the dog tho

"no, babe, see? Now we have another room! It's just with shitty Ikea flakeboard as a wall!"
🙁
I think it's minimalist but fine
IKEA alone ranges from $50 to $600 for media benches, while DWR’s price range is $795 to $19795 lol

excellent dog, though.
But living room? Calling the safe movers will be cheaper than calling the divorce attorney.
if i did that, my wife would put me in the safe. the small one.
Second one psychologically abused me to the point I have PTSD and fear ever being in a romantic relationship again.
This accepted belief of women only know what is best for your home needs to die.
A third safe has hit the Discourse
"WHICH ONE IS IT???"
fragile egoman just wanted to infer that he had guns.
My college dorm room was better organized than this
Bwahaaa
wait a minute. Are we balancing a shelf on top of two speakers here?
apparently they have guns and watches.
I cannot i cannot i cannot
I just want to talk
Gotta add that to the national curriculum
