How to remove options from a question based on a condition?

I have a question where users can select a time of day to set up an appointment. I am comparing the time in each option to the current system time, and want to remove it if it has already passed. For example, if it is 11:30am, then 9:00am, 10:00am, and 11:00am should be removed.
My code seems to be correctly identifying which options should be removed, but I'm having trouble actually removing the options.
// get system local time
var d = new Date();
var m = d.getMinutes();
var h = d.getHours();
if(h == '0') {h = 24}

var curr_time = h*60+m;
var qid = this.questionId;
var choice_contents = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.QuestionInfo[qid].Choices;
var options = [];

Object.entries(choice_contents).forEach(item => {options.push(item[1]);})

options.forEach((item) =>{
    var hr = item.Text.split(":")[0]*60;
    if(item.Text.split(":")[1].includes("pm") && hr<720){hr +=720;}
    var mn = hr + Number(item.Text.split(":")[1].replace(/\\D/g,""));
    if(mn    jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" -label").closest("li").hide();
    }
})
I have seen the

jQuery("#"+this.questionId+ ... .hide();
