I don't think it's the yo mama part they're downvoting. It's the part about fat ugly bitches.

If you ever visit New Orleans be sure to tour the pharmacy museum. Located in an actual former pharmacy in the French Quarter, it is filled with examples of this sort of thing along with arcane medical tools that look like something from Dead Ringers. It gives some really great insight into the state of medicine at the time as well as the exploitation perpetrated by quacks.

You've clearly never ridden the New York subway during rush hour.

The Allies experimented with it as well, just not to the extent of the Germans.

Angry elephant. Remove your glass eye, insert it into your foreskin and flop it around while yelling "brrraaaah!"

Most impressive party trick I've ever seen.

It's getting too English. Make it more French.

NOPD's stated goal is 1600, a ratio of 1:227 persons.

The actual ratio is 1:385

Cleveland, similar in size to New Orleans, has a ratio 1:310. They also state that they are suffering from a serious police shortage.

By comparison:

NYC has a ratio of 1:166

Chicago 1:180

New York City has a ratio of 1:166

Tbf, NOPD don't arrest many people anyway. There's a massive cop shortage, only 944 officers for a city of 364,000 with skyrocketing crime rates. Moreover, they've been operating under a consent decree by the DOJ since 2012. They're overworked, underpaid and under the thumb of the feds so in response they simply don't do shit.

Thank you for that. It was really insightful.
