They've already explained that China has more economic data to determine that theoretical cap location, so you, not being Chinese yourself, are basing your cap entirely on vibes with no insight on to how it hurts or helps Chinese people. It's just as arbitrary a number as the equivalent question one could ask you- Give me a hard number of people (through slower economic development) who should be dirt-poor in China today to prevent billionaires. Quick economic development (with the help of leashed capitalists) has lifted so many out of poverty and it seems you would happily undo this purely because rich people exist and it isn't pure enough.

Just have the post/vfx house mask over the rainbow?? The post house is probably replacing a lot of background stuff already. This feels like the world’s worst lie.

Next up: production shut down because lead actor got a pimple.

Rockbox

I desperately wish my Rockbox consistently worked without crashing or freezing once a week.

Just to piggyback off this comment a bit (since I'm not sure I've ever rented anywhere with MERV 13+ filters). Try making a Corsi–Rosenthal Box with a box fan and 4 air filters. This might be beyond your price range since MERV13 filters aren't the cheapest in the world when you have to buy 4 of them, but I've been using mine for years and they work REALLY well. My PM2.5 sensor is consistently on "0" unless I'm cooking.

Why would people who want socialism vote for people maintaining capitalism? Why would you equate participating in bourgeois elections as an indicator of motivation of all political action?

There's ~40-50% of US potential voters who don't vote for various reasons- Living in a state where the results are almost guaranteed, being alienated from politics in general because of the distrust in our government as a whole, leftists who don't vote but are politically active in other ways, etc. There's also people who do vote because they feel like they have to vote against the worse choice. If only all this alienation and lesser-evilism and feeling ineffective politically could be siphoned into a mass movement that helps all of us. Capitalism cannot be "fixed" if a group of people who don't vote suddenly start voting. That's pure fantasy. But it seems people who believe this would rather hope for a fantasy situation than actually looking at reality and adjusting their strategy to make things better. Otherwise, you'll just delay necessary change and feel resentment toward people who couldn't convince you fast enough.

Or when "corporatism" doesn't work, they'll just make up words like "leveragism"

Since heat index/wind chill/UTCI exist, maybe someone should take the opportunity to just throw out both Fahrenheit and Celsius as units for comfort since both need to be modified to be actually meaningful anyway.

At least pills taste better than tablets.

Too much glass and metal.
