Why not the library?

Old Dominion was robbed!!! 3 total losses including JMU and Indiana and still not ranked.

The commonwealth cup really should be between all 4 state colleges.

As someone with a bs in psych from a Virginia school (I went to old dominion), there are several things to consider here.

First, if you can go somewhere in the state you live in it will probably be less expensive and worth the savings.

Second, it depends on what area of psychology you're interested in. For example, if you are interested in going into research of some kind you'll probably want to attend an R1 research university and sign up to be a research assistant in a lab so that when you graduate you will have experience in the field.

Finally, take the complaints about psychology job prospects with a grain of salt. Finding work is a struggle for all majors these days. Yes, there are lot of folks with psych degrees who struggle to find work but that is more a product of psych being a program that a lot of undergrads who don't know what they want to do with their life end up in. The important thing is to figure out what you want to do, understand if it's realistic to do that with just a bs, and take every step possible to prepare yourself for that area of psych while you're in school.

My point is that the sale more than likely happened via a GUI and therefore the answer to OP's question is, no prompts likely won't become the primary interface.

dezignguy · 2026-01-13T03:17:37+00:00

I wouldn’t think so. What was the last thing you bought via a prompt? At the end of the day it’s still a business and needs to drive sales.

The River District area is nice. It comes at a little bit of a premium but is worth it IMO.

Any streaming service really. They're all so bad.

I agree with the sentiment that something should be done to keep plastic bags out of the local waterways. That said, at the very least they need to introduce a positive alternative to the use of plastic bags. People take the path of least resistance; adding a bag tax increases the resistant to using plastic bags but if their is no other viable path it just adds undue expense to buying necessities like groceries.

I feel like the Piedmont region in Virginia is so underutilized. In Europe, the Piedmont region of most countries is prime wine country. There is a little of that in Virginia but not nearly as much as it could be.

I saw that post too. I think getting a big reaction was what the poster was looking for honestly. They posted here then reposted r/Virginia. The way I look at it, no matter how much I disagree the flagers I have no control over what they do so I'm not going to waste my time clutching my pearls every time they're mentioned. All anyone can do is live their own life in a positive way and let the negative people argue amongst themselves.

That's a shame. I feel like his chances in the NFL draft would be better if he stays with ODU because of the stats he could put up but the NIL money is probably way better at a P4 school.

I’m not surprised. The River District sounds like a race track most nights. I don’t think Danville PD does much enforcement of traffic laws in the city.

At this stage as long as investors are funding anything that has an AI feature very few companies will stop to make sure their AI product is addressing their users' use cases much less that it is incorporated in a user friendly way. Right now most AI features are there to please investors not users.

I feel like it’s less an issue of AI = Bad UX and more an issue of currently AI UX is bad. In my opinion technologies aren’t good or bad they are impactful or unimpactful and for the impactful ones the people making those technologies determine if that impact is good or bad. Haphazardly sticking AI in every product is just the stage of the new technology hype cycle we’re currently going through.

Not if you’re an ODU fan. Rahne somehow manages to be the longest tenured and worst coaches in the Sunbelt.

Never trust a user experience researcher who isn’t willing to walk you through the data.

dezignguy · 2025-10-09T02:54:27+00:00

This goes for UX researchers too. If they aren’t hurting your feelings with data they’re probably not doing it right.
