Go to bing and search For “man lays big pipe in hole til it squirts”

The last time I used bing it was just now, accidentally, when I was trying to run a program installed on my computer. I hit the start button, typed, and without thinking hit enter. This launched Internet Explorer whatever the gently caress it's called these days, doing a bing search for what I typed in. This immediately threw up an error prompt asking me to log in with my Microsoft account. I hit cancel, it appeared again immediately. I hit cancel, it appeared again immediately. I tried to close The Browser Formerly Known As Internet Explorer, but the login prompt is modal and it just produced an error beep.

I finally managed to close this bullshit by hammering alt+f4 repeatedly.

It is, and they make great earplugs. They also do ones for listening to music at concerts, which aim at attenuating the sound evenly across frequencies, which ordinary earplugs don't do. The idea is that you can still hear the music the same, only not as loud.

Anyway, I just did a search (e: not on bing, gently caress you Microsoft) and the "sleep pretty" ones are made by Hearos. So that's pretty lovely of them.

Weirdly, Bing also came up right away after I booted up my laptop a few hours ago. I never use Bing. I thought nothing of it until now. :tinfoil:

A rather odd frame of reference, but I always heard q-tips aren't recommended by doctors, so good on you for using them sparingly, The Mighty Moltres.

This could of course just be insidious propaganda peddled by the pro-ear wax lobby

Yeah it's better to use those squirt bulb things. Beats the gently caress out of q-tips and there's no chance of accidentally impacting a bunch of earwax. Switched like a decade ago and haven't had any issues with hearing or earwax since then

Fill 'em up with lukewarm water, hold your head to the side so your ear points down, slowly insert it as far as it comfortably goes, then squeeze it hard to get the water shooting with some force. A weak squeeze won't necessarily displace anything, but you can try with less force at first to see what feels comfortable, I guess. At least that's how I do it. Ideally I try to get the length of the neck lying against the ear canal so the water kind of cascades along the side and scoops anything out. Might need to repeat a couple times per ear. I just do it like once a month or something in the shower when I'm feeling like it's about time. It makes my hearing way sharper for a while, too

At the clinic we rinse out earwax with a little spray nozzle using warm water with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. We constantly see people that have hosed up their ears with Q-tips and still inexplicably think that following advice for not putting q-tips in your ears is for nerds.

It’s very stupid to smash a cotton swab down your ear canal like you’re tamping a goddamn cannon with a rammer. Yes, I’m talking to you.

Women generally have smaller ear canals. I doubt it matters for qtips but if an ear plug is too big it won't set right. Probably don't need to make them pink and blue though.

Or, maybe, consider the existence of various ear canal sizes across the population regardless of the attached genitalia?

E: what I’m trying to say is I’d like to see less of these gendered “norms” and the body shaming they create.
