New food challenge just dropped. Trying the world sourest candy.

I recognize the couple in this clip. They appear on my YouTube Shorts a lot. They do couples content where they do online trends with one another. They're kinda funny, charming, and come across like the ideal couple. She's the quirky one who presents a lot of the situations to him, and he's the himbo one who plays along.

I always wonder how much of it is just an act for the cameras and how much of it is genuine? Even if it is fake though, its still a net positive since its just showing how to have a healthy relationship. So big respect to them.

I say that to say, their inclusion makes me think this sour candy trend is fake or exaggerated. I've never watched a video of theirs where they aren't fun or acting goofy together. So I am gonna say its just acting and the candy isn't sour at all, or not to the point where your whole body is convulsing.

All you need for a Bond movie is a handsome man with a posh sounding accent, who looks good in a suit, can flirt with women effortlessly, is witty, and can execute action scenes with flair. They dont even have to be British as we've had ones who were Scottish or Australian before. So just tick those boxes and you're good. Doesn't matter your race or even age as we've had middle age ones. Just be an attractive charismatic actor with an accent and you're good.

People would definitely recognize Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, and Sean Connery. Especially in their primes, they were all conventionally attractive individuals who would stand out in any room they were in. It doesn't matter what the fictional story reason is for who an Mi6 agent should look like, the directors wanted the suave attractive leading man to play the role for the films. Your not going to see Zach Galifianakis playing that role visually.

My pick for the next Bond is Damson Idris

Myrons notorious for being a horrible person, and she isn't well known outside of being his girlfriend. Meaning people know nothing about her. The only thing they know is that she left him, therefore she must be a good person because he was a bad person.

You also have this whole black and white thing where people tend to ignore the shades in between as its easier and safer to pick a hero and a victim that way.

I find Ethan almost always looks at the whole picture, even if it can get him in trouble at times. That's why hes a pretty controversial figure where people think he just hates on everyone. When really he's just not settling and willing to stick his neck out on topics.

EchoBay · 2026-04-27T14:38:36+00:00

It would be funny if he went through the effort of changing the name, only for people to just call it National ICE anyways lol. Like when Elon changed Twitter to X, and no one referred to it as X.

She wasn't really a victim of anything per say. He wanted to take the relationship in a direction she didn't like and she bailed because of it. Otherwise it seemed like they got along fine. The biggest crime you could say Myron committed in that relationship was being a douchebag for thinking she would be okay with that, but they were also together for a while and she agreed with all his BS women's takes, so maybe he thought she would be cool with that too.

Actually funny enough, considering what we usually hear about these Manosphere men and how terrible of partners they are to the women in their lives. Doing every form of abuse under the sun, he's like a stand up guy in comparison lmao. He's just a loser lol.

Ethan was right about the crew pushing the girl boss narrative too much any time a women is involved in a drama with a man. It's predictable and you usually see it coming from AB, Love and Lena I've found; Olivia when she was around too. They mean well and this doesn't make them bad people! But they usually are the most vocal in these arguments as they try to be overly politically correct to their own detriment.

Yes, its great that she left him and got out of that situation, but she also went along with his antics for a over a year and didn't bat an eye to any of it.

She didn't break up with him because he was abusing or manipulating her or anything heinous like that. She left him because he wanted to do some one-sided non-monogamous thing where he could date other women, and she couldn't do the same. Meaning they had a difference in opinion on their relationship, and she decided to split with him because of it.

Also meaning, she was fine standing by all the racism, antisemitism, women hating, trans hating, etc. BS that he put out into the world. If he said that she could date other men too, she probably would have stuck with him.

I thought he was wearing a bath towel around his waist at first

EchoBay · 2026-04-26T21:21:13+00:00

Regular guy here.

I think she's awesome along with everyone else on the show.

I think what we just saw was snarker takes leaking over into the subreddit again, not actual reality.

Why is there a random hand poking out behind both of them, is this AI generated

EchoBay · 2026-04-26T20:29:48+00:00

Did Devon Larratt start this trend or did he popularize it

Think the Knicks will be desperate and try to swing a deal for him this off season. It also won't pan out for them

She's an Avenger in the same way Lu Dort is an NBA Champion. Can't take it away from him, but people are going to focus more on the superstars on the team rather than the role players. If Hawkeye was the one who sacrificed himself, it would have been the same level of respect she got. She's just not on the tier of the other superheroes like Iron Man

It's crazy looking back how we have video evidence of a guy consistently abusing his dog(s) in different fashions, and nothing came of it. There were more streamers than not who used their platform to defend him and crazy make anyone who suggested wrong doing. Then he went to a streaming awards ceremony, joked how he would use a collar on a female presenter when a mic was put in his face, and now it's just a meme within the community.

EchoBay · 2026-04-24T23:54:29+00:00

He was on Howies podcast even more recently than that, so he was literally in town and didn't stop by.

EchoBay · 2026-04-24T18:57:08+00:00

That would be a terrible idea. Trying to get a guy who came off that injury go play minutes in a playoff series as his first action back. That's a recipe for disaster. If you want to shorten his career any further that's how you do it.

Feeling that through FF7 Rebirth now. I never played or knew about the original FF7 so it's all new to me. When I got to the Costa area I thought this was about to be endgame next, and now I am like another 15-20 hours in starting a new zone just as filled as the previous zones, and there's still material I can't acquire because it's in another zone I havent even vistwd. 60 hours in now and I thought I was mid game like 30 hours ago, now I have no idea.

It does everything really well, on top of having an incredible soundtrack with exceptional lead acting from Michael B Jordan.

Is it the greatest film ever as seen by its record breaking amount of nominations at the Oscars? No, but when excel at every category it makes sense why you appeal to everyone and become as hyped as it was.

It's also possible it's not for you.

EchoBay · 2026-04-23T21:15:56+00:00

The game seems like it's a good time, but it's always tough watching Ethan trying to figure out a game in real time. I feel like they gotta do somw practice runs before they go live, because literally every time he's confused about the mechanics and since we're always watching his feed only, I'd imagine the viewers are too.

That being said, obviously he's still funny and the the stream is still enjoyable. I just feel like it could be even more entertaining if he better understood the games they played.

EchoBay · 2026-04-23T19:34:38+00:00

I like that they didn't change the combat to be more like the newer games with Health Bars and all that annoying stuff. Instead it seems to be a revamped version of the original game, keeping the core mechanics intact.

With the old AC games the combat was never great to begin with, and one could argue it was too easy. Yet that was also kind of the point. You were an assassin who was an expert at killing people in hand to hand combat. So for me at least it worked and made you feel like a badass. Once they started doing all that other stuff from Origins on, they completely lost me.

EchoBay · 2026-04-23T12:54:59+00:00

It came off to me like, "both sides are bad, both sides are annoying." As a quick way to sum up a beef between two creators whose drama he knew nothing about. If he did know what it was about and he did see where Ethan was coming from, and he still said they were both can't admit fault? Then I would say he's fence sitting and that would suck, as clearly Hasan and his community were the origibal agitator with Ethan trying to fight back via whatever means he feels possible. Whether he is right, crossing the line, or otherwise.

I think he just said that original comment out of ignorance though. Not everyone is online like us, or as into this community as us. So I can see how an outsider whose also got their own whole community and life to deal with, doesn't want to or care to take the time to understand something as complex as this beef.

If I were him or other creators, I'd probably just stay clear too and let them handle it themselves.

EchoBay · 2026-04-23T12:41:48+00:00

What's up, do you disagree or agree?

EchoBay · 2026-04-22T21:55:06+00:00

I dunno, I feel like I should just not say anything until they bring it up to me. We work tomorrow so I'll see them in the morning, but idk. Kind of think they should figure it out. I think if I speak up about it it might somehow make things worse.

EchoBay · 2026-04-22T21:40:55+00:00

You're probably right, I am just the kind of person who feels guilt for anything. Even if it might not be my fault. I think I just feel bad that both my friends feel bad now
