Okay, when did mansplaining change from overexplaining something simple because the listener isn't a man to just explaining things in a horrendously incorrect manner?

This isn't mansplaining, this is just being a massive christian dumbass.

    It's actually going to be great for you. When I was still more interested in eye surgeries, there was a special substance that was used on the patient to keep the eyes open. It's still in some hospitals. What is it? Near-100% pure cocaine, baby!

    spoilerMild disclaimer: the eye surgeries we're talking about are completely different than the eyeball-scraping kind.

    The peroxide didn't work for me once the wax became impacted. Maybe if I had repeated it several times in the course of a day, but it was easier to just repeat the trip to the doctor to have them get it out. Losing your hearing absolutely sucks, and I didn't want to delay getting it back.

  • Those two in particular are in Beaumont, a particularly ass-backwards area of the state. One of its satellite cities, Vidor, is talked about even in Texas as being vitriolic in their racism. I've also been inside both of those hospitals' emergency rooms, and wouldn't want to be there if my life depended on it.

    It's much, much quicker, simpler, and easier to reach into the ear canal and gently scrape out the wax. The few times I used any fluid, it was a tiresome affair, and it never really got out all of the wax that could start to build. You would have to do it every other day to prevent real buildup, and that would be a gigantic pain.

  • It shouldn't, barring strange laws. Most states set jurisdiction by whether an action occurred in their territory, or if it affected something inside of their territory (so prosecuting a pedophile from somewhere else who was trying to lure a child in the state prosecuting). A report from another news agency in Chicago says the state court's judge merely put the case on hold and the federal judge has just taken the petition from musky and the counterargument from the state prosecutors, and now has asked for a response from musky; so it hasn't actually been moved yet.
