We got under 200 this past year. And I think only 10 so far this year. Yay? Most of the time I've lived here, it ranks pretty close to one a day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No problems in the tourism district, though. I'm pretty sure that's where all the cops are.
Yeah, Jamaica's like that. No one wants to hurt the white tourists. With black tourists, it's nothing particular, but it is hard to tell.
I don't know what the numbers in LA are (or how any of these figure per capita), but speaking of capita, there was that one dismembered guy that somehow felt creepier than so many of the rest...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Memphis used to do better than one a day on average, which gave my mom fits no matter how much I reassured her that the victims weren't generally people living in secured buildings or out eating at sushi bars and shopping at Macys. Somehow she never worried after college when I lived in a slum next where you'd frequently hear people firing their guns in celebration.
Speaking of Memphis, I made good on my plans to head there for Michael Fassbender Movie Day (both were very good) and then had seared duck breast, leeks, and lemon crème brûlée at Napa Cafe. Ahhh, so good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I had a large gift certificate, and my Sprint contract was up, so I got an iPhone for $100.
I have a question, maybe this belongs in tech? I want to make a couple of ringtones, and I followed the instructions, but I'm unable to use any snippets of songs (convert to an ACC) because they are protected files. Is there a way around this?

We should have an arts and crafts thread. Not like MInearverse. A proper one. And, in it, I'd put this guide to smoke in your digital photography. It totally would belong there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I use Myxer. Free and I've had no problems. There's even an app that is also free. But I have better results online. More precision.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There were apparently 63 murders in Boston in 2011. And Boston is almost twice as big as New Orleans.

These kids are in a free fall. No one will educate them (in an all-charter system, they can be kicked out for whatever reason with little to no recourse or appeal) and the horror of Katrina and the response and lack of rebuild and being left to rot or be relocated imprinted upon thousands of black boys 6+ years ago and no one gives a shit enough to help them.
Just want to build bigger prisons to house them instead of trying to solve the underlying and systemic issues.
Obvs, the craptastic social issues of New Orleans predate Katrina, but this has exacerbated them to an almost untenable degree.
I think, per capita, New Orleans' murder rate ranks in the top five of the WORLD. (my sleepy half assed googling does not find that cite, but I'm pretty sure this was something released in the last couple weeks.)
