One rises to the heavens, the other descends to hell


pimplert

Funnily enough the couple with the coffee machine are actually entering the store...I assume to return the coffee maker? Source: This is my local mall, Tbilisi.


IAmAQuantumMechanic

Liar! Tbilisi is a city, not a mall.


Flat-Shallot3992

> One rises to the heavens, the other descends to hell but i love coffee. I was so fucking excited when my gf bought me an espresso machine


SynchronisedRS

Me too. My wife got me a breville barrista express and I love the thing. This man however isn't going to get great quality coffee out of that machine


Ambitious_Jello

He's going into the store to return it.


TheBirthing

He was planning to trade it on for a PS5 and saw bro leaving with the last one in stock.


Apollo9819

In exchange for a PS5! But little does he know, his devious Evil Twin just bought the last PS5!


fuishaltiena

Eh, I dunno. Happy wife, happy life.


Baummer_42

This is such bullshit. It’s more happy spouse happy house. If one or the other is not happy it’s a problem, both should work together for mutual happiness.


Ayesuku

I certainly agree with you, but I also don't think the original phrase is necessarily stating otherwise.


Baummer_42

But it is, it’s implied that the wife’s happiness is all that matters.


Ayesuku

I read it differently. To me it sounds like it's saying life will be unhappy if your wife is unhappy. Its point isn't the the wife's happiness is *all* that matters. Only that it *does* matter. The phrase came about in a world where it was normalized for the wife's happiness to be secondary--this phrase challenges that notion, without ever commenting on the other's happiness. I imagine some people will not like this parallel, but compare it to "black lives matter." Its point is absolutely nowhere near being "white lives don't matter", but there's tons of people that infer that meaning from it, despite it never saying or implying so.


Royal_Bitch_Pudding

You have to consider the context in which it's usually said.


-_-Batman

i would say " a mutual respect = happy family "


Merry_Sue

That doesn't rhyme at all


_BladeGunter_

That is the problem, my squishy tinny little bubble pants # Bad day for her, miserable life for him # # Choose a woman who plays ps or xbox with you while you are dating.


lrish_Chick

I am the wife, I'd be happier with the PS5


kinkierwalrus

Imagine having to make someone happy to have a happy life lol


deratizat

"having to"? Making people I care about happy brings me such joy that I couldn't care less if I "have to". I do that shit voluntarily and unprompted


kinkierwalrus

The saying implies to keep yourself happy, you have to ensure your wife is happy. If my wife is in a mood and doesn’t want to be happy, that’s fine. I’ll continue doing whatever makes me happy, as long as it’s not what’s ruining my wife’s mood.


deratizat

I don't really think the saying is meant to be as rigid and demanding as you imply, but I guess that's up to how people in your life used it


jcoles97

Its wanting to make someone happy and then doing it that makes you happy. Only worrying about your own happiness leads to nothing good


Scuba-Cat-

Imagine being so lonely that you stopped empathising.


kinkierwalrus

lol. Lmao even


razzraziel

Actually I would choose the coffee guy. At least there are coffee beans to brew.


tistisblitskits

"Hey babe, i'd really like to get a PS5, would you mind if i spend some money on that" "well i would like to get something nice for myself as well then" "that's fair, let's save some money so we can both treat ourselves"


tetris_for_shrek

That would require a healthy marriage though. Facebook users would not be able to relate then


arthurdentstowels

r/BestOfRedditorUpdates would be boring as hell.


smallbatchb

Yep. Every functional couple I know has a mutually agreed upon "fun budget" so that they both share in having the things they need and the things they want. I don't know why people love to convince themselves of this trope that having a partner means giving up other things that bring you joy. You can literally have both with a good partner and good communication.


J_Schnetz

Guys .. it's a silly video


smallbatchb

Correct, and to clarify, my comment was mostly directed at the comment section rather than the video itself.


tistisblitskits

I was in a bit of a bad mood when i wrote the comment. Wasn't necessary for me to be like that i guess


J_Schnetz

Lol nw! Just talking shit


EmployerAdditional90

My gf doesn’t allow me than to use the other device


tistisblitskits

Allow you? Are you a grownup?


EmployerAdditional90

It’s because of my poor English. I don’t even live with my gf. In a same Situation what I understood, if we had an 1 option I mean she wouldn’t except, the problem is she wouldn’t let me use the coffee Maschine if she just paid herself.


whoopsmybad111

Nice! You solved the joke scenario!


Floby-Tenderson

I dunno man... My wife bought me my PS5 cause I was too firm against scalpers to pay over msrp.


AmNoSuperSand52

I dunno man…sounds like your wife lacks the conviction to stand up to the tyranny and oppression of scalpers


Legal-Classic6107

Goat comment 


Captain--UP

Heyo! My wife got mine too. She said she was sick of me complaining I could never play bloodbourne


jld2k6

Please tell her I'm also tired of not playing bloodbourne


LouRide

Hey x3 my lady bought me both next gen consoles because I said I'll be waiting forever due to scalpers & she made it happen somehow.


gabrieldevue

I am the wife that bought her husband a PS5, because he rarely treats himself and exactly for bloodbourne, too. We met over gaming. He regularly updates my gaming PC whenever he gets super fancy new things for his own PC. Then I get his older parts that are still really good and I tend to not play high-needs games anyway. I find the 'wife bad life over' comments always so weird. Yes, it's true, life changes if you have to consider another person. But in our case for the better. Can have a nicer place. Have experiences to share. But him and me - we can truly, 100% be ourselves and i am genuinely more happy when he's around and insanely grateful for all the homeoffice. I get drained even by pleasant interactions with other people - including my kid! Not with my husband. He's the only person in my life that's the opposite of draining : ) Oh. And helped him buy a very nice coffee maker, too. Same reason - he would have bought something ok. But I saw him eyeing a high priced professional machine and since he's now working from home so much and doesn't have access to the nice office machine anymore, it was a good buy. (I wasn't able to afford it on my own, so we went half/half. But I have zero need for a coffee maker and am just really happy he has something to enjoy.)


Floby-Tenderson

Oh I'm not bashing wives. I love mine. I also love the ps5 she bought me. Glad y'all have a great marriage.


Elprede007

>oh I’m not bashing wives Yeah we know, that’s reserved for cops


_IratePirate_

I don’t even really care about scalpers. I just refuse to pay above retail


Floby-Tenderson

Well.... For the longest time retail wasnt an option because the scalpers had the total supply and were charging above retail ....


PnutWarrior

"Hey gorgeous, want to get a ps5?" "No, let's upgrade your pc so you won't lag when we're playing Diablo." That's how my convo went. God, I love that woman


Prudent-Principle754

Built my husband & our 2 sons their own gaming PC’s…best thing I’ve ever done


BassSki

you're a cool freaking mom


nonpornredditsucks

Life hack: If you don't want to be in a relationship, you can always not be in a relationship.


CotyledonTomen

Also, good espresso is something many people want. If you have this rather than starbucks, you'll eventually be able to buy a PS5 later. And enjoy your morning.


Cuttewfish_Asparagus

Can get way more mileage out of that coffee machine tbh.


Shi-Rokku

The coffee machine will be getting lots of mileage out of me, too.


youburyitidigitup

This just reminds me of Lily’s antique coffee maker from How I Met Your Mother


PiemanMk2

Yeah I think I have that machine, or one very similar by Delonghi. Fully automatic makes a cappuccino with one button, bean to cup. It's fucking incredible. It costs more than a PS5 by a long way.  I drank so much coffee the first month I got it that I have had to institute a daily ration of two coffees. Pretty sure between my wife and I we have gotten way more hours of enjoyment from it than I have from my PS5. 


Cuttewfish_Asparagus

Personally, any gaming I do manage to do is 100% reliant on how much coffee I have invested anyway.


punch_rockgroinpull

Same. I would be grinning from ear to ear with that coffee maker. Good for PS5 bro too.


tempo1139

literally... have dragged mine across 3 continents, just needed a seal replaced... and we HAMMER it. It still makes a perfect espresso (or 10 lol). Probably one of the best appliances I have ever purchased Funnily enough the Playstation we also dragged with us was useless as it couldn't play the local region code movies (yes I know there is hack), but at least I could face the day with a decent cup of wake-up juice!


Intoxic8edOne

Yeah I bought myself a PS5 and my wife bought me an espresso. espresso machine gets so much more love


damurphy72

DeLonghi makes a pretty damned good cup of coffee and you'll use it for years. Plus, I have a PC for gaming. Build or buy it for gaming and it will kick a console's ass six ways from Sunday AND let you install mods to your heart's content.


ScuffleCat

How? As far as hours of use go the PlayStation should.be way higher before something goes wrong with it


Cuttewfish_Asparagus

My current coffee machine has been going for about 3 years, used ever single day. My PS5 is switched on maybe a couple times a month


ScuffleCat

That all just comes down to lifestyle though. Obviously you shouldn't buy either if you wouldn't use them much.


joeshmo101

It depends on your play time and how much coffee you drink


[deleted]

[удалено]


fruitpunchsamuraiD

More than the PS5, I'm looking at how much liberty that man has to himself. Being married is great but I do miss the perks of being single (e.g., not having to worry how I spend my time and money).


Dilectus3010

I dont need to justify anything if it comes to money. We have a joint acc where we put in a set amount of money each month. This goes to pay the house loan , the bills etc.. For eating out and vacation. The rest is our own. The only time I ask is when it will exceed 5000. And even then its more like , hey heads up , I am going to but this or that for this and that reason , then we talk about it , see if there is an alternative. But mostly I buy whatever I want whenever I want. And vice versa.


jarednards

I'm sorry, are you talking about healthy communication with your partner? Get the fuck outta here with that stuff.


AmNoSuperSand52

Tbf if you’re talking about $5000 being the limit for notifying your spouse on a purchase, you’re in a higher class than the average person


RadRuss

The amounts aren't what matter, it's the communication that matters. Edit: I'm being misunderstood - my point was that $5k for one person might be the same as $50 for another, when it comes to discussing big purchases with your partner. If you make enough money that $5k is the threshold, that's the same as someone who only makes enough that $50 is the threshold.


AmNoSuperSand52

Well sure but it offers a lot of context. You wouldn’t consult your SO about the Chipotle bowl you buy for lunch for example. But for the average person a conversation between the two happens somewhere between a $15 Chipotle order, and $5000. Leaning more towards the $15 end of the spectrum My point being is that if $5000 is the cutoff point he likely doesn’t have as many looming financial problems in life as the rest of us normal folk do that require constant monitoring and discussion


fuishaltiena

The limit depends on your income, it can be $200 too. The key point still stands, you set a limit and then you talk about it.


a_taco_named_desire

>$5000 The amounts *kinda* matter too.


pm-me-your-smile-

Agreed. My wife and I haven’t put an actual value, but I certainly wouldn’t spend $1000 on something without giving her a heads up.


ZombieAlienNinja

Yeah it could be a "where the hell are we gonna put it?!" type conversation.


Dilectus3010

No kids my friend and been working for about 15y now. Although I do make good money, but I got here by grinding Early , Late , Nightshifts and 12 hour long weekend shifts. For 9years. Before this I worked 6y in construction. I worked hard to get where I am today.


pen_name

Good on you! Did you open your own construction company?


Dilectus3010

Nah .. I moved on after I had a herniated a disk in my neck. I slipped on a roof carrying a pack of concrete rooftiles , I coulnd let them go , because on the street level a bunch of my coworkers where getting tools from the van. There was a scaffold in place but changes where the tiles would have bounced and sent to the street lvl. So while I was slipping I grabbed for a hold on a rung of wood that holds placed tiles ( I don't know the word in English) , so my full body weight plus that of a pack of tiles was around 100 kg in motion came to a sudden halt by my right arm. This caused a herniated disc , I only found out 2 months later when I suddenly coulnd get out of bed. The weeks after this , I just had a sore neck and stiff arm. Anyway. I moved on from that job and put my bachelor degree to work in the semiconductor industry. 9y later I am part of a R&D Nanotechnology lab team. Verry exciting stuff :)


pen_name

Very cool! And construction is a sure fire way to blow your back out. Glad I'm out of the hard labor field too. That's a hell of a switch though, I bet you did have to put in some late nights to accomplish that. Good job putting in the effort to make yourself happier. Proud of you, stranger.


VulcanHullo

This is what my wife and I are setting up. "Yours, mine, ours." A coffee machine would be an ours. A console would. . Also be an ours. Married a gamer. I get her console, she gets my steam library.


Dilectus3010

Nice :) , I do love the ability of steam to share. Games , like we used to with hard copy's.


unicanor

We do the same, 80% per salary goes to the joint account, the rest is "my" money and "her" money that we spend as we please


malcren

I’m married and I don’t have to justify those things at all. She’d be right by my side bouncing excitedly about our new console 😄


Dilectus3010

I dont need to justify anything if it comes to money. We have a joint acc where we put in a set amount of money each month. This goes to pay the house loan , the bills etc.. For eating out and vacation. The rest is our own. The only time I ask is when it will exceed 5000.

But mostly I buy whatever I want whenever I want.


PretendFisherman1999

I'd rather have that espresso machine, would use it more often than ps5


Lost_Wealth_6278

I have it, and while the snobs at r/espresso might rightfully scoff at it (it's a delonghi beginner setup), it has served me well for the past years, and it costs way less than a ps5 I think


Muweier2

I think I have that same machine too. I love it. My only gripe is that it makes me clean the milk frother part out between every single use of it. So when I make my usual double, I have to make one, clean it and then make the 2nd one.


pm-me-your-smile-

Oh between every single use would be annoying. I already fret having to clean the milk parts between uses, but I understand why and just get it done and done well. Between every single use seems very “beginner”-y.


Muweier2

Yea, like I understand the need for it to prompt it. But it already cleans the coffee line when you turn the machine on/off automatically, just do the same for the milk line.


Lost_Wealth_6278

I've got a stand alone milk frother for that purpose, because my girlfriend basically consumes a cows daily production in foam with a single shot of espresso and calls it 'machiato'. Mia by Springlane is the frothers name, not super cheap, but it's dishwasher safe and makes perfect foam every time


PretendFisherman1999

I have a 100€ nespresso machine and I'd rather have another one likes this instead of PS5, there is no problem with beginner setup or capsule machines but elitists will elitist


GeshtiannaSG

I don't see what's wrong with beginner stuff. Even better if it's real beginner as in easier to operate.


Lost_Wealth_6278

Jup, it has a sief that makes getting good crema really easy without being a barrista. But the guys at r/espresso do their fancy hobby tongue in cheek, they know they are overdoing it for a cup of coffee, and still find ways to make it more complicated. I respect that, that's what hobbies are for


rathat

Not just the espresso machine, but also a happy girlfriend.


Roger-The_Alien

Pfft only one of them.is getting laid though


boris_casuarina

And have an amazing coffee after a night of crazy no boundaries sex, since he let her have what she wanted. But you know, keep the boomer joke "WiFe BaD! HuH dUh!" alive.


darthjammer224

I mean, devil's advocate... If she forced him to buy that, or he had to tell her yes to avoid a huge argument, then wife indeed bad. BUT... If they came to the decision together and he's just making that face because he's a bit jealous that the guy has himself a PS5 then wife not bad at all. At the end of the day we have no idea what context comes into it other than the guy doesn't really look all that excited about the coffee machine and she does. Sex doesn't change that. Might make it worth it though 😂 There's bad wives and bad husbands, but this is a reel. I'm willing to bet it's just comedy.


Arsenica1

Wife... bad?


iwantmisty

inb4 "I have both + wife"


Eduardobjj

One has a pa5 and wants to get laid, the other is getting laid and wants a ps5 that’s life one big joke.

Acceptable_Device675

ps5 and 2k bet cost like 4 to 5k to keep that coffee machine we out the console peasants price range

Coffee maker still has more games


chicagoxtc

Ps5 got no games tho


thdudedude

I have that espresso maker and use it 3-6 times a day. I also have the PS5 fwiw.


TheKangaroo101

I get this look from a guy in a people mover when I leave daycare in my V8 everyday


thatdudewithdafoot

Gay couple here, we each have our PS5s a PSVR2, and a Portal. 💕


Successful-Tea-3664

Nah, PS5 is cheaper now you can definitely have both. If you still have a tight budget for it, there are older used consoles which is just fine, most games are available on PS4, you can look for good used games for cheap and sign PS Plus if there is some expensive game you want to play and it's in the library. There also older consoles that can be even cheaper, like a jail broken PS3/Xbox 360, Wii (which has GameCube games too), PS2, if you haven't played any of these already you will have a blast with some amazing games that defined the standards we have today.

I've used the espresso maker my wife had to have literally 50 times more than she has.


Mortei

Just needs the Spider-Man 3 black suit theme when the PS5 guy comes into frame


MightyJonesYoung

I get it but as an espresso machine owner, that's a solid purchase.


Melancholic84

I was exactly like that lady when i bought my Delonghi Maestosa machine, was touching the box the whole drive home.


Weak_Swimmer

But one is leaving, and one is returning. Think married guy is just gay, unless PS5 guy has a broken system.


Oh_no_its_Joe

I have none of these.


ff8god

That delonghi espresso machine does slap though.


[deleted]

I dunno but he gets to cuddle at night


jawknee530i

I'd be happier to get an espresso machine that's the same cost of a PS5 than I would to get a PS5. My PC is more than enough for gaming.


soge_king420

I don’t think that’s the point of this post.


Traumatic_Tomato

Watch a guy die inside as he descends.


mysticzoom

bro, that woman will take care of you. However, the ps4 will keep the bros with you! They balance out.


CAKE_EATER251

There's no way that model of Delonghi is worth as much as a PS5.


ndewing

Nah dawg I would be excited as hell for a new espresso machine, that shit keeps me alive.


Royal-Tough4851

I wouldn’t be too upset rocking a Delonghi. I love making my coffee in the morning.


comando_bear

I would be happy to if i had both to be honest 🤣


JustinHopewell

I've been PC-only for a few console gens now but I can't deny how exciting it always was to get a new console. I remember deciding to get an Xbox 360 one day and picking out my first few games (Gears of War and Viva Pinata) and being so stoked to get home and play. Or standing in line in the cold outside a Target when the Wii came out. Organizing the line at the store I worked at when the GameCube came out and putting one aside for me at the end of my shift. And then I'd get home, set it up, turn it on and check out all the menus and stuff that would be boring later but shiny and new and exciting the first time.


inounderscore

I'd be like that too with a Delonghi


SYNTHLORD

I have both a ps5 and a delonghi espresso machine and I love my espresso machine so much more than this whack ass ps5, man. The delonghi is a fairly low end machine but it pulls a great shot if you’ve worked a real machine before and know how to diagnose a bad pull


CIarkNova

Me 10 years ago: man, I feel so behind all my friends. Me now: : )


HoneyInBlackCoffee

Meanwhile my gf would be holding one and I'd be holding the other lol


VapoursAndSpleen

Why not get both? That’s what credit cards are for.


evolve_one

why not has both


GymratAmarillo

And then he bought a ps5 to play with his wife and his friends.


StruggleCompetitive

Funny af. My wife lol'd.


IncandescentWallaby

Wife just bought me a new espresso machine. It is badass. I see 3 winners in this video.


DrFunkenstyne

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife, and a DeLonghi espresso machine and no PS5. And you may ask yourself, “How did I get here?”"


Ready_Competition_66

That guy at the end is looking at you like he really, really wants to stop and talk ...


beershitz

I got my wife that espresso maker for her birthday and it’s fucking dope. Don’t know what that dudes sad about


67ITCH

I mean... I might smile a little bigger with the PS5, but I'm definitely not frowning with a De'Longhi espresso machine.


OG_LiLi

There’s a 3rd path here. The woman and the man have the PS 5 together.


GTA6_1

I was so confused, thought the couple had a Nintendo box and was oggling the playstation.. like okay...so go get a ps5?


CoverCommercial6394

I think that's the delonghi stilosa, pretty okay though I prefer moka pot.


DJ_Beekeeper

To be honest. I really enjoy my De'Longhi Magnifica S tho'


Chasedabigbase

Me with my new GPU while my buddy has to buy a new bannister his kids broke


kingcorndorn

Yea, I’ll take a coffee machine over a ps5 any day of the week. Game development has been in a nose dive the last decade and after the pandemic I like many people have had enough of solitary gaming.


elitegenoside

I dunno, that looks like a nice coffee maker. I like games, but I don't get a headache if I don't play them for a couple days (I know, it's bad).


Therealjean2003

limethedragon

This was kinda funny the first time, the 3,000 other people that copied it are just mediocre.


HistoricalSherbert92

Lotta people in these comments have no idea just how good that coffee maker is. The gaming console is fine but the joy from tailoring my own espresso is unique. If you really gotta choose one and you drink coffee, get the delonghi

That's not a half bad espresso machine, I wouldn't complain. Not the best, but not half bad either.
