@aescling no cat, sneasler isn’t good, the other pokémon are just bad
@alyssa i think the real problem might be less the pokémon and more the moves; they should make better bug moves and let the bug pokémon use them
@alyssa they should reflect this in the game mechanics and Yet
niantic add Any good bug or poison pokémon to pogo challenge
@aschmitz i am very disappointed in the state of XML parsers as well 
@aschmitz the other best‐practice with noncharacters is to never store them in a place where anyone other than the program which understands their meaning will see them
having the noncharacters produce XML which isn’t valid provides a bit of a guarantee against that; a downstream recipient SHOULD error out if it receives a document where the noncharacter wasn’t handled/removed
@aschmitz usually the best‐practice as i understand it when using noncharacters (which FFFE and FFFF are) is to first search for them in the string and replace any existing ones with FFFD
this would need to happen to make the XML valid anyway, so that seems acceptable to me; i agree that in the general case you probably shouldn’t assume valid input tho
@aschmitz (well, do not use U+FFFE in a UTF‐16 environment where it might be confused for a byte‐swapped U+FEFF)
@aschmitz U+FFFC is allowed in XML documents; i need a character which is NOT allowed in XML documents but which is still a valid Unicode character
there are three of these: U+0000 (not ideal), U+FFFE, and U+FFFF (both of these last two are great)
U+FFFF is a VALID UNICODE CHARACTER and i WILL use it as a delimiting sigil when processing strings which are restricted to the Char production!!
@narylis the professional-managerial class isn’t really what i’m talking about though; e.g. a professional speaker who gets paid lots of money to write books and headline conferences is not managerial in any sense of the word, and “professional” only in a loose, vibes-based sense (conference headlining and writing both are clearly trades). however, having a member of the proletariat headlining your conference of bourgeoisie and bourgeois-enforcers (managers cops etc) is a social faux-pas (because the proletariat is too low-class to be present in such a space), so there is an active effort to produce individuals who LOOK bourgeois (have bourgeois lifestyles etc) even as they perform literally-proletarian trades
perhaps i am just disagreeing with “modern leftists” here and think that “professionals” and “managers” are NOT collapsible into a single category (and protest the use of the word “professional” as a category of leftist analysis in general), but even explicitly allowing for and setting aside “professional” fields such as office workers, educators, and lawyers, it feels like there is something very different going on here compared to those situations
trying to negotiate dual feelings of “ugh why are you listening to this bourgeois thinkfluencer and not real organizations of real labourers” and “actually, this person owns approximately zero of the necessary means for any of their labours”
i’m thinking of like, professional speakers and high⹀end consultants here, to be clear; professions where social pressures demand bourgeois hires despite it not actually being a bourgeois role
is there a name for the kinds of people that capitalist society props up with a bourgeois lifestyle even tho, analysing their relationship to labour, they are not actually bourgeois?
superhero movies
@alyssa yes i think for a time they wanted it to take place in the comic multiverse but then they gave up on that and then decided to just re·use the comic names
superhero movies
@alyssa i’ve chosen to believe that it is just an alternate timeline where everyone believes they are on Earth-616 even though they actually aren’t, but i think that actually the movies just aren’t consistent with each other, much less the comics
superhero movies
@alyssa what’s your source on this?
niantic release a “pikachu with gender-changing cardboard taped to its tail” event pokémon you cowards
