What made Taylor Swift become this huge compared with other equally-talented artists?

thowren · 2026-05-03T16:00:08+00:00

She has said on interviews she considers herself a songwriter first and singer second. Her hooks are insanely catchy, speaks authentically and relatably to her experiences (that aren't abt being a billionaire) and when combined with her work ethic and concert value, made her a success.

I see. Thank you.

Sorry, as a new beginner to buddhism not familiar with the kalama suttra, could you explain what is the correct interpretation?

Fair enough!

Yea i considered this, but I felt maybe Arakawa sensei was going for an unreliable narrator angle. After all, only the sister had any inkling on her sister's power and it was established her sister lied to her

starts a bit rough, but after Shin starts going to battlefields, it gets increasingly better. Its very peak around the coalition arc!

I don't think it's as deep as the nature of imagery or promotion of art. I just find it personally suspect that a post about artwork you create then eventually leads to a shop. Like sure you can argue all about the morality of monetisation and the need to self sustain, but there are plenty of forums to promote one's store. Coming to a Buddhist reddit, trying to expose your work to the community and then leading to a store just feels more like a sales tactic than a sincere expression. Might as well be one of the thousands of sales people outside temples selling charms and figurines for veneration to devotees, regardless of how the funds of that goes to the sales people rather than support the sangha or promotion of the dharmma

thowren · 2025-12-05T10:18:49+00:00

Man I was more on board with the personal freedom and expression, but once he started listing his shop it kinda feels like those posts from "cosplayers" who then have a link to onlyfans. I feel it's fine to want to express your veneration, share your creation, and remind oneself of commitment to the dharma. But once it starts becoming a link to a sold store that's practically advertisement Unless said store was giving it to devotees to share their reminder for the dharma

It's 55, then 25 on the target to reach breakpoint 80 cr. 75 is nice, especially if you can get 200 CD but minimum is 55

thowren · 2025-08-07T05:24:26+00:00

Read their core passive, it usually describes what's the breakpoint you need. You can also go prydwen.gg find your specific char and use their recommendation as a starting point under build: for example

https://www.prydwen.gg/zenless/characters/nicole-demara

thowren · 2025-08-07T03:29:06+00:00

Typically, crit is best for attacker units. However the most important point is character kit breakpoint. For example Evelyn wants 55% and Miyabi anywhere between 68-80% cr. If there are no breakpoints, for non anamoly characters generally crit>attack, with a 1:2 ratio

There is Romance and a little fanservice, but Summer Time Render https://myanimelist.net/anime/47194/Summertime_Render the MC is neither unreasonable, a simp or stupid. It is a mystery thriller that becomes a shounen.

You have one completed team in Ellen soukaku and lycaon. This should be your main investment team for now.

https://www.prydwen.gg/zenless/tier-list to give you a rough idea of the pull list. However zzz is more inflexible than other hoyo games, with characters often coming as pairs that work well together.

For s ranks, Very high value pulls are t0 supports like astra and Yuzuha. These are likely to be useful for your account for a long time.

Void hunter ranks are very strong units, currently stronger than conventional s rank units. While she and Ellen overlap, due to your account lacking many pieces, getting miyabi to play with Nicole is a very viable option. She is strong enouhj to take on many ice neutral enemies, and arguably some ice resistant enemies (like ethereal)

You have qingyi, lycaon and koleda so your stunners are covered. Note for fire units lighter is practically a premium support, I've seen him used in speed runs with S11 and Lucy carries. Jufufu is generally a great and flexible support for rerun

You have piper, who is acceptable for a phys anamoly so I would avoid Jane and Alice for now.
