Do you realize how many talented artists are out there that never see the light of day of success just because they do not have the capital, connections, or luck to break through? I don't think most people are saying she doesn't have any talent at all. What people are saying is she owes her initial success to the money and connections her dad has. And it's not even the common stroke of luck that other successful artists get. She was even way ahead. And having that initial success can make or break an artist's career. Talent can then carry you moving forward.

Nobody is saying she's a hack who was only successful because of daddy's money. They're saying she got a very good headstart and hit the ground running. It's primarily directed at people who claim she got there on talent alone. It's like saying Bezos or Musk built their empire from scratch, while forgetting they had the benefit of having huge initial capital from their parents.

Btw, getting to #19 on mainstream charts is not trivial.

This exactly. Unless you're willing to drink from a communal jug that you can't guarantee no one has opened or spiked it with anything. Don't get me wrong, I don't buy Liquid Death either. I just drink water before entering the venue. Also, this applies to smaller venues that only have a bar, not arenas that sell bottled water.

Very appropriate name.

Like the other comment said, this sounds more like an OSINT related job.

To be fair, he did this in Colbert’s show, which was kinda done in jest/humor. Having said that, the guy does like to “ackchually” stuff a lot, even for fictitious things. And he definitely was his usual smug self even though it was a comedy bit.

Tilda, because I can bring it down my screen with one key any time.

Amazing! Thanks for this.

They sell the fantasy that the star is romantically attainable only to the indovidual fan, and not anyone else. It doesn’t make sense, but you can say the same for onlyfans models and why people pay them for “personalized” content.

I actually want to use the auto so I can just set and forget. The problem is, at least for my 2024 model, it turns on the foot vents as well. I wish you could set it to auto but only using the face vents.

I get it, I wish the fan speed setting was a physical dial as well. Having said that, after 2 months of driving, I pretty much was able to figure out a routine where 99% of the time, I just need to adjust the temp and not have to fiddle with the fan speed. It’s not ideal of course, but stil better than literally everything on the screen like a tesla.

For the 2024 models at least, the heated seats are now controlled by switches next to the shifter, so no need to go through the screen to adjust or turn them on/off.

I personally haven’t had issues with the brightness, probably because my windows are tinted, so I can make it bright enough for visibility during the day, and not too bright at night at the same time.

Your complaints are valid though, and I agree, all hvac controls should be physical switches/dials.

I have a 2024 Subaru and the A/C contols are on the screen now as well. The temp control and defrost are still buttons though, so while I would prefer physical buttons, the current setup is manageable and I’ve gotten used to it. I just make sure to set everything before driving, then use the physical temp controls to adjust when needed.
