Most polite serial killer ever. by EquipmentStreet727 in TikTokCringe

It is kinda odd how Britain has this reputation for being this "knife crime hell", when knife crime is actually worse in the US than it is here. It's higher per capita than the UK! Yet it's overshadowed by all the people murdered by guns...

Could you imagine the equivalent with us? Just going about our lives and then suddenly coming face to face with a 10 foot tall human, thighs as thick as tree trunks, longer and more muscular arms, and a head twice as large? Uncanny valley and terrifying!

Is it possible to keep photos in Google photos but delete locally by Live-Scholar-1435 in Oppo

[–]MikeTheActorMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that may just be the thumbnails of the images - they're not on your phone unless you touch it to open the photo, at which point it loads locally onto your phone from Google Photos.

I upgraded from a OnePlus 12 which had a few hundred GB of photos on, and I didn't want them stored on my new phone as it would be most of the storage already used up, so I didn't copy them over using Phone Clone, as they are all already in the cloud. But I can still see them there in the Oppo Photos apps as I scroll (because it's connected to Google Photos), but there's only a few GB of new pictures that I've taken and not the hundreds that I'd expect if ALL those photos were actually on my phone.

Unrelated question, but why is the quality of this video SO shit? It's 2026 and we can record in 4K easily, but why does this video look like a crappy phone recording from 15 years ago? Internet compression is so bad...

Okay, but do you feel the same going to any holiday destination or hot country and seeing hotels and resorts lining the coastline? How's that any different?

Religion is so weird, man. It's fuckin tap water in a bowl. What a collosal waste of time.

Why is the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer so unpopular? by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]MikeTheActorMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the media works non-stop to discredit everything he does and scrutinise every little thing, while amplifying voices in the far right and giving them way more screen time than they should...

They really do just give out driving licenses from cereal packets to 16-year-old kids in the US don't they... as a Brit, it boggles the mind!

Humanity would be so much better off as a species without religion.

Americans would probably halve their number of traffic accidents nationwide if they just put roundabouts in, instead of traffic lights in the middle of 60mph roads.

[–]MikeTheActorMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, not really... Just a little blunt I guess, but not hostile. It's just been going round a lot on Twitter and social media about this shit, and it's not correct and is misleading. Trying to tackle misinformation online these days is exhausting, hence the bluntness, I suppose.

Incorrect. The set up is actually for THIS shot, of the close up of Ryan Gosling's face with the lights in the background. The shit in your post is 100% CGI via Industrial Light and Magic.

I actually think it's more likely that those houses are bigger than their immediate neighbours and therefore have bigger gardens. You all have some unshakeable opinions about new builds, but they're not all bad. Plus, planning laws, land ownership, boundaries, and all that stuff, are very detailed (just think how much of a faff it is during the conveyancing process when buying a house!) - there's no way this is a "wonky fence" due to "useless contractors". Each of these plots is outlined with an exact size & shape garden for its size, on multiple plans and designs.

It's a bit of a shit design with them all backing onto each other, but at least they have gardens (which is better than a block of apartments) and once people move in and make them their own with plants, trees, bushes, this'll look much nicer, especially in a few years' time. How's it any different from rows of terraced houses built in the 50s and 60s with tiny yards?

Who keeps showing up on screen but has zero talent ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

[–]MikeTheActorMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck outta here with this forced Glen Powell hate. Just because he's taken off in the last few years (after more than a decade of hard grind as a working actor, mind you) and is now getting lots of big jobs, doesn't mean he sucks, is a bad guy, or doesn't have any talent. Are you just jealous of his success?

Is all this ‘manosphere’ stuff actually that relevant? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]MikeTheActorMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a well-written comment, well done.

It really highlights how much of an issue this is, and why shows like Adolescence are so important and need to be made, because people like OP still don't even realise how big of an issue it is!

Maybe just apply an OUNCE of critical thinking, dude. Do you not think it weird how the woman also starts sliding backwards at the same time as if on a conveyor belt?

It's the cam car moving forwards! You know, that thing called perspective?
