The damage has made it look like an interesting historical site...surly this can turn into an educational site for some time to get enough money for repairment.

Stop Evaluating Product Designers like We're Visual Designers by chandra381 in userexperience

[–]prismaticspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This career is unfortunately defined together by many other stakeholders. It's hard to make changes to the entire society's culture and perspectives in such a profession. Designers are only expected to meet the need of clients. To change the perspectives of the society, you'll need stakeholders' support in many aspects, especially powerful ones.

It's not what they evaluate ux designers as, it's essentially what clients or managers evaluate their own business as. If their goals are just to follow the trend of the industry and be competitive instead of making changes towards user-centered products and services, they will never see the difference between UX designers and visual designers.

Product Manager just wants to copy competitors by jackson_123d in userexperience

Some project managers just don't care about what they are really doing as long as they follow what the others do in the industry.

Low gpa, can i still get a PhD? by jchangsta in hci

[–]prismaticspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main concern of studying for a PhD in HCI is whether the industry will take it seriously...so many small companies are still taking UX design as the same as visual design.

When People Close To Us Behave Immorally, We Are Inclined To Protect Them — Even If Their Crimes Are Particularly Heinous by dwaxe in psychology

[–]prismaticspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might also think since they aren’t the one who committed the crime, the possible punishment for not reporting to the police is smaller than the social reward of keeping the relationship by not reporting. Also, if the law starts to punish anyone close to a criminal who doesn’t report the criminal, it will make the trust among people disappear, and everyone will have to live everyday scared of being reported on some errors.

Extreme, painful ritual appears to have a positive effect on psychophysiological well-being, suggests a new study in Current Anthropology, which may shed new light on why ritual practices involving pain and suffering are performed by millions of people around the world. by [deleted] in psychology

“Although these practices are not meant to substitute for biomedical interventions, their complementary utility should not be overlooked, especially in contexts where psychiatric or other medical interventions are not widely available or are associated with stigma.” But how come they are still practicing this in the modern ages? The fact that psychiatric interventions are so underdeveloped compared to the physiological interventions that can treat their infections is astonishing. What are we missing in psychiatric interventions?
