X-Post from Uplifting News:

There is no law of economics that says natural changes in demand or technology have to be met with brutal, unanticipated layoffs, that MEANINGFUL retraining can't be offered, or that unemployment payments should be poverty wages.This article shows one country's industry doing the first two at least!

As an American it's always been hard to believe the absolute sloth and lack of investment shown in helping workers retrain. I'm from Oregon, and we still have communities that never recovered from forestry preservation initiatives in the 80s. In laid the groundwork for bitter, powerless, formerly proud souls to be courted by lying politicians. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising given companies want to minimize investment in worker training here while being surprised they can't hire qualified employees 🤔. If only there were solutions...

Wins:

1. Moving away from fossil fuel dependence

2. Actually giving workers a human chance to develop new skills at a healthy pace and adapt instead of the bludgeoning pace in the US of layoffs, no training and a frantic job search.

One of the main reasons employers want to keep healthcare private; enormous leverage against labor, organized or not..

I would assume I'm not insane and this is not deliberate?

Edit; looks like this is Lemmy functionality as it's done in one's profile and also blocks the display online?

Given the slower/lower content, hiding read posts helps keep users engaged on Lemmy, but if I always have to scroll back through posts it's a total turnoff. Understand this is a Lemmy issue and not Boost it would seem, any workarounds for this Reuben?

Just want to hide stuff I've already looked at but still seem my own posts in my profile posts.

Cheers.

I seem to be having a brain fart, have "clicked on posts mark as read" but posts are still showing up. Where is the "hide read posts" option?

Obviously there are many ways different hair types can be worn, combed, braided, cut, etc., but is natural, untouched Black/African decendent or ancestry hair an afro like in the 70s or was that styling? I imagine if it is natural, it's normally like any hair cut shorter to make it easier to manage so that's why one might see many lengths?

Also why is it sometimes called a federated ID? Does it have to be an email address or could any value work?

Who breaks through their ceiling and becomes a superstar? Who was solid or strong last year that may not see any playing time based on their performance or new team composition?

I saw the movie on an airplane which is why I'm having trouble remembering it.

A dramatic film that centers around a couple, man and woman, released somewhere between 2007 and 2016 I believe. They don't seem too happy and argue a lot, the man is immature and unhappy. The key thing is that midway through the movie, the man realizes he has control over, or made a wish or something and the woman now agrees with whatever he says and follows his decisions or instructions. The guy loves it at first and then slowly realizes the loss of his partner's free will kills the energy of a relationship and he wishes he had back his girl who could argue with him. The movie ends and he's still unhappy. I don't remember the female role hardly at all, the male actor I believe might have been like a B+/A- actor at that point in his career, I remember thinking I was surprised how good he was. Might have been someone who had done more comedy and tried a serious role?

I've tried scrolling through IMDB for those years looking at top few hundred films released in a year, lists of dramas by year, etc. and have come up empty.

I don't remember many other plot points but appreciate any leads and will answer any questions that might help you help me!
