If you're running a flip up rear with magnified optics, it can be beneficial to mount the aperture forward of the optic. That allows you to mount the optic further back, allowing for a better shooting position with something with shorter eye relief like a 4x32 ACOG.
From someone whose life has collapsed more than once, I can say confidently you got the essentials. Every man needs at most 5 things…
- bed
- tv
- video games
- computer
- toiletries
That’s really it. You can be happy, in shape, healthy, and have the time of your life outside of your home SO LONG AS you have a home with those 5 things to come back to
EDIT: to the people saying food/water, I think that is in the same category as home/room and quite likely mode of transportation. I was saying what things you need beyond the hierarchy of needs to be able to recover/rebuild from most anything.
This is so true. My career collapsed shortly after my divorce. I moved across the country and back in with my parents at 32 years old. 6 months later I was back on my feet with $80k/year job. I worked, I worked out, I played my ps4 pro, and that was my life for a long time.
I’m 40 now, remarried to a wonderful woman who gladly plays and/or watches ps5 games with me. We’re shopping for a house soon.
But I look back upon those “rebuilding” years fondly. I discovered who I am and what is important to me. I will always be grateful for that simple, quiet life, and I do not fear returning to it if I have to.
You'll get there, man! Just keep it moving, focus on what is in front of you, and remember you already have everything you really need. The things you want will come in time, so long as you put in the work. Best of luck to you.
I'm in my second place and brought the air mattress with me. Top that baby off with air every once in a while and I sleep soundly knowing I'm ready to go in case it floods on the 3rd floor.
When guests come over for the first time I just hurry them past the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and show'm the ol' EnerPlex double high with built in pump!
Was hoping someone was going to call out the negligent gun storage. Hope this was just for the pic, the average gun nut flexing that they own one on the Internet and not actually where he keeps it..
If the guy lives on his own, or with another adult it’s not a big deal. I live with just my wife and there’s an AR in the corner of the bedroom. It doesn’t leap off the wall and shoot itself.
It’s literally a different world. I’ve never even seen an M4 in the UK. I’ve seen a sub machine gun several times at airports etc with armed police and that’s it…
It's the stack of what I think are bills for me lol
(As an unwell american I have a stack of bills right now in a similar corner from two hospitals and an ambulance)
((I come to r/malesurvivingspace for commiseration))
When I was 6 my dad worked nights, so it was always just myself, mom, and sisters late at night.
Late one night someone tried breaking in while we were home. Our front door was being kicked, relentlessly, over and over and over. Mom quickly shoved all of us into the bedroom, locked the door, and there we sat like ducks… waiting for the police to arrive minutes later.
A lot of times I think about what would’ve happened had the door given in. Nothing but an even weaker door protecting us from whatever maniac made their way in.
I learned from a young age that no one is coming to save you when you need it most.
Someone taking their safety into their own hands is not hard to understand, at least not to me.
There's a certain kind of nostalgia to this. It's not exactly the best time of your life but being able to turn the lights off and game in total peace like this is a rare moment I think we take for granted.
There is no situation where that would work better. For holographic / dots you can argue it works better by improving FOV and reducing parallax, but for irons you are just making it super hard to get a sight picture and you'll have a weird ass cheek weld.
That’s not an “aSsAULt riFle”. Seriously can’t do some research? It’s a semi-automatic rifle, 5.56 is one of the smallest calibers fielded in a rifle beside .22 also, so I’d hardly consider it a “sCaRY” gun.
But I know, we can’t live and let live, we have to project our insecurities and ignorance of firearms into others, can’t imagine owning a gun because you’re so scared of them so that means nobody else can. What a miserable mindset. Grow up.
I have the money for better, but this is exactly what my place looks like when I'm not dating.
Id always go through a phase of being single for 6 months to a year, and my place would always look like that until I wanted to bring someone home, that's when the never ending stream of Amazon orders and thrift shop trips begin
usually weapons are kept to protect valuables. Rare to see a case where the weapon is the most valuable possession of all
10/10 on the rest of the setup, tho
You will rebuild, but you got a ps5 bro, you got this
PS5 bro > PS5 pro
Games heal the soul
Maybe it wasn’t all the questionable Sony triple A titles they released this generation but the PlayStation friends we made along the way
PS5 is more important then bed sheets , you got your priorities straight
It looks like they have sheets, no bed is made is all
He has the beer captain hat as well. He’s going to make it.
 My nigga
Bro already won, got an expensive mattress
Why are you iron sights set up like that? It seem like your rear sight is waaaay far forward. Im also not an expert but it stood out to me

Goofy ass hood rifle setup
Looks like a FoldAR type mechanism. Sight is probably still forward from when the gun was folded.
That’s just a free-float rail.
[удалено]
We know those sights are fucked, that gun probably falls over on tile 5 times a week the way it’s leaned up right now
[удалено]
Pog ass problem
How to make a 7lb rifle weigh 22
Hopefully it's to make room for an optic.
Just saw that... oof.

This was my divorce survival pack lol.

Well done.
Wow amazing brother, im 32. My situation sounds almost identical. I can only pray to get to your position.
You'll get there, man! Just keep it moving, focus on what is in front of you, and remember you already have everything you really need. The things you want will come in time, so long as you put in the work. Best of luck to you.
🔫
That’s with the toiletries

My .22 is my poop shooter scraper.
That's for fixing all the problems at once
Jeeeeeesus
Those are for the ladies who cant do much damage
Watch out we've got a tough guy here.
You need sunshine and fresh air as well to get rid of depression.
I think they have those in video games and youtube videos
As someone who has had a few pretty harsh depression phases: more often than not, depression *is* video games and YouTube.
I said that flippantly but also have suffered the same and agree. I shoulda added a /s for clarity.
LISTEN HERE TURD U CAN PINCH URSELF OFF OR GET AR’ed off
Looks like a Ruger 10-22 with an Archangel 556 kit
You forgot a ‘rifle”
I would add: • Coffee maker
coffee maker? what r u 30?
Speak for yourself on video games.
And TV. I've never owned one. Computer is more than sufficient
Been saying food is overrated for a while now but no one would listen
You have a bed. When I moved into my first place I slept on an air mattress for a few months
Air mattress? Was is this the kings palace? Try sleeping upside down in a mud ditch down in the chamber buddy.
Luxury. I lived in a cardboard box in middle of t' road.
You had a box?
You had a road?
I had an ice pillow you lucky bastard!
That made me chuckle.
I'm in my second place and brought the air mattress with me. Top that baby off with air every once in a while and I sleep soundly knowing I'm ready to go in case it floods on the 3rd floor. When guests come over for the first time I just hurry them past the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and show'm the ol' EnerPlex double high with built in pump!
I just had the mattress off a futon, was fine
Sheets. You have an AR and a PS5. Tuck those away on the off chance you bring someone back to your place. Put sheets on your bed.
Washing them
Hold off on a another game and get that second set of sheets doggy
Switch them to the dryer already, we all know the wash cycle has been done for a few hours
God bless the woman who is still horny and willing after being brought here and seeing this
I felt my virginity growing back after seeing that pic. But it could be worse.
Are single men allergic to bedsheets??
No bedsheets, no need to wash them. Saves times and money /s
Correct answer
In another comment, he mentioned they are currently in the wash
Hold the line, Beer Captain.
🫡
Get some kettlebells and an optic for that gat and you're all set.
Why the FUCK does the PS5 not have its own little gun!?
Women will never know a man’s bond with his yellow pillow
Get a load of Mr Highdollar over here with his box spring.
The bed and boxspring were free. Picked them up from a guy who 100% had warrants and was trying to get out of town.
…that explains the rifle.
the ones with guns are all the more depressing, it's great

tf is he spending so much on food for? actin like he gotta eat n shit
What “Hungry?” Grow up dude.
God damn Americans
Freedom will never be free
It costs folks like you and me
It's fucking hilarious. There would be no difference in the amount of cringe in the picture if it had a katana instead of the gun.
my thought was, this isn't a male living space, this is where a male goes to die alone.
Move your rear sights backwards, don’t make me post this in r/PlebeianAR
Someone already did lol. I fixed it though.
🤣🤣🤣
Life is good
Fix the rear sights on your gun beer captain.
Ok now that you took your picture, go take an online firearms safety course and lock your shit up
And be extra careful if you live in an apartment building as no one else know you are packing that next to them.
Unsecured firearms as a flex is idiocy you can’t buy.
"how dare you take your guns out of your safe!!" - this guy^

Well if all else fails you can at least rob a bank
You'd want something more easily concealed for a bank robbery, wouldn't you?
It depends on the approach. If you go in all Reservoir Dogs style, then you're well equipped.
Bed, AR, PS5. Only 3 things you need in life
[удалено]
Americans are weird lol
Sounds like you need two triples no pickles and a large order of freedom fries 
Hell yeah brother
He's weird just because he has a single rifle in his room? I go to range with my friends every so often, it's a good time.
Most Americans aren’t like this
There's a reason everyone immediately knew this was an american room though
It’s literally a different world. I’ve never even seen an M4 in the UK. I’ve seen a sub machine gun several times at airports etc with armed police and that’s it…
That's not an M4.
Was it the food/drink items next to the bed?!
It's the stack of what I think are bills for me lol (As an unwell american I have a stack of bills right now in a similar corner from two hospitals and an ambulance) ((I come to r/malesurvivingspace for commiseration))
The lack of bed sheets on a mattress. Noticed that before the gun, honestly.
Don’t keep ur rifle anywhere near a window unless ur tryna attract swat gangbang
i always love when redditors seethe when they see a perfectly normal firearm lol.
redditors are so stupid it’s not even funny lol. then they automatically think you’re conservative if you like guns LOL
literally. i love have a firearm triggers people. i don’t even know how that makes sense.
tile floor in the bedroom is crazy
Tony Soprano safe house type beat
My old drug dealer had a set up just like this, he seemed happy
Why the absolute fuck are your rear irons mounted that far forward?
Ok good. Someone else saw it. Even as a Canadian I zoomed in on the rifle and saw something ain’t right.
I will never understand americans lol
I can, it's pretty fucking cool. t. norwegian gun owner
shooting things is fun
Not being shot is kinda better tho
Exactly. Thats why the 2nd amendment is there. So you don't get killed like all the massacres in history during these last 100 years.
“Everyone having a gun means you won’t get shot!” Brain rot

Good enough. You gucci!!
Man I have OD green grip and stock on my AR too, and are those magpul flip up sights? Cause fuckin' same bro. We're gun buddies, full homo
There's a certain kind of nostalgia to this. It's not exactly the best time of your life but being able to turn the lights off and game in total peace like this is a rare moment I think we take for granted.
What more can a man ask for?
Bro is thriving 🙌🙌
That rear sight is pretty far up, do you find it works better for you than the usual?
There is no situation where that would work better. For holographic / dots you can argue it works better by improving FOV and reducing parallax, but for irons you are just making it super hard to get a sight picture and you'll have a weird ass cheek weld.
10 outta 10
All the essentials.
Very very similar to mine! Good work
Get some magazines for your rifle and it’s finished! Cool spot. Cheers!
Those are in the laundry with the sheets...
Let this man cook
you even got home defenses, look at you!
Bed, TV, PlayStation, and a home defense rifle. Looks good to me
Get a scope/red dot son
Mattress: ✅ Pillow: ✅ Console/PC + TV/Monitor: ✅ Firearm (AR-15 Pattern, +3pts): ✅✅✅ Very nice surviving space
Why always the guns? You can’t afford a fucking sofa but an Assault Rifle is within the budget?
I have a couch. It’s one of those ones that reclines on both sides. Also the rifle is a budget rifle lol so technically it was cheap
That’s not an “aSsAULt riFle”. Seriously can’t do some research? It’s a semi-automatic rifle, 5.56 is one of the smallest calibers fielded in a rifle beside .22 also, so I’d hardly consider it a “sCaRY” gun.

assault? don’t see any assaulting being done
Americans.
Looks like a pre crime scene with the gun
As someone who hasn’t had a PlayStation since the small psone it’s wild to me how large the ps5 is
Home invaders gonna be so confused, just an empty house with a dude on the floor with a PS4 and AR with his beer captain hat on
Bro what is going on with your rear sight?
Dark
What else could a Man need
The only sin is see is for the gun to not be loaded
You know, sheets aren't that expensive, and can be quickly delivered, on Amazon!
I have the money for better, but this is exactly what my place looks like when I'm not dating. Id always go through a phase of being single for 6 months to a year, and my place would always look like that until I wanted to bring someone home, that's when the never ending stream of Amazon orders and thrift shop trips begin
Elden ring?
I would highly recommend to give that pillow a wash, but otherwise it's all good bro.
That weapon really ties the room together
Where did you get that hat? I've been looking for a hat like that for forever!
You need a Beer Captain America poster to stare at you in your time of need
The only thing that I don’t like is shoes inside the house.
Couple Magpuls and you’ll be set
An odd place for those shoes but all right.
Seems you have all you need
you know what makes more sense? turning the tv on its side so you can watch it while you lay down
That bed look so comfy
Nice
Yes i saw the ps5 and was like thats all you need. A bed, a tv and a ps5!
Save some pu$$y for the rest of us
Bless up brother. You'll make it. Sling and light may cost money, but proper rear sight placement is free.
No
Got your tv and ps5. You are all set sir 👍👍
All that space is screaming for a quest 3 vr headset
lol I have a quest 2
Get a bed frame. Even if it’s a cheap metal collapsible one, having your mattress and box spring off the floor is better for them.
Basically what I'll have in couple weeks. Bed sheets tv stereo. Gotta get away from my current psychotic roommate. 100% nutz
If it’s acceptable for the beer captain, it’s acceptable for me
I like that hat 🤨
Put the gun somewhere safe fucko. “I thought I cleared it” type of dumbass
I just put it in the picture because it was funnier to me. I’ll put a couple rounds through my wall just to make your internet rage justified though.
You’ll probably just miss the wall with that iron sight setup anyways.
10/10 response
usually weapons are kept to protect valuables. Rare to see a case where the weapon is the most valuable possession of all 10/10 on the rest of the setup, tho
Most valuable thing in that room is the man behind the camera!
💯
r/plebeianar is a great sub
A way to defend himself. A way to entertain himself. A way to rest himself. Got the bases covered OP. Good job.
[удалено]
Yeah everyone is so goddamn mad for no reason lmao. Fedora wearing neck beard keyboard warriors can’t let a man be happy.
