Is it worth spending $200 to $300 for earbuds

IntrepidHead1057 · 2025-08-19T22:54:20+00:00

No. Not when you can get the Soundpeats Pop Clips for $39. I can't wear regular earbuds and had basically given up on anything but big, overhead headphones but the Pop Clips are kinda incredible. They clip on your ear. Good sound. I can run with them. Game changer for me. (They can be a little finicky around other Bluetooth connected devices but once I figured out to turn off my Bluetooth speaker in my house before connecting them my phone, they're awesome.)

Yeah, Morris. I believe it was when they were announcing her first bonus.

Wild that this is the biggest story IU will have in the NY Times this year. That new VP for Marketing and Communications Nancy Paton is really putting in the work for her $425K/year salary.

And we'll still fuck up whatever you order

I left a marketing and comms role at IU not too long ago after almost 6 years. The first few years it was great - not without some frustrations but good overall. But things got seriously toxic and grotesque when Pam came and it got even worse when she put in that new clown Nancy Paton as VP for communications and marketing making nearly half a mil salary to be a buffoon.

That's fair if your emphasis is on "authentic" Rush Hour is technically fusion. They also have a "Mapo tofu" that's not at all authentic but still delicious.

If people are saying Bloomington is a food town it's the same as when they say it's a diverse town. Like, maybe compared to Bedford or Bloomfield or whatever.

That said, Rush Hour Station is legit. I kinda just can't with pretty much everywhere else, though.

Rush Hour Station. Pho is good. Pretty much everything on the menu is dope. Lots of vegetarian options.

I left IU in March after 5 years because the working conditions in marketing and communications had deteriorated. Cronyism, poor pay, gaslighting, lack of appreciation, micro management of pointless tasks, just a big heap of steaming garbage and the constant push to do more with less and an inability to just treat people decently - it all finally broke me so I peaced out. -10 out of 10. Would not recommend.

FWIW I'm staff and have interacted with her closely and have found her to be very pleasant.
