I'm a 32yo male currently unemployed and without a place to live. My lease in Baltimore ended March 1st and I used its expiration as an excuse to move to Puerto Rico while I figure out my next path.
I have 12+ years in the restaurant industry, primarily in bartending and bar management positions, across major cities DC, NYC, LA and Baltimore. I enjoy the atmosphere and creativity of bartending, and as an introvert, I appreciate the social aspect of interacting with people. The industry also proliferates alcohol and drug abuse, which has caused some trauma to me over the years. I think the booze, socializing, financial comfort and ability to bounce around different cities has over time created an unsustainable isolating lifestyle.
I am naturally a fairly decent writer. I earned an English degree at UMD, then moved to NYC and LA to do something creative and intellectual like screenwriting, poetry or fiction. I fell face first into the service industry-creative type cliche and eventually pivoted to focus on hospitality. As depression and alcohol abuse crept in I found it nearly impossible to sit down to try to express myself, so I whittled my attention down to a simple bartending lifestyle of work, booze, sleep, reddit, etc.
I have no idea what to do now. I can romanticize up and moving to a new city again as a means of just kicking my lack of purpose down the road, calling it "another adventure," and excusing myself again for having no real relationship or career prospects. Other than that I have no plan whatsoever for when my Puerto Rican escape ends. Thanks for reading.

I’m trying to get as much help for my moms friend. Her son Jacob VanZant went missing from Shangri-La restaurant in downtown Lodi on Feb 17th. There’s a lot that doesn’t add up. Here’s what I know as of now. *He was waiting to pick up his girlfriend from work. She worked at Packs Dispensary in Stockton, Ca. *According to the bartender there Jacob had a couple Long Islands. *He realized he didn’t have his debit card and said he would be back to pay. *The bartender also said he was on the phone with his girlfriend while he was waiting for her at the restaurant. *He left the restaurant and just disappeared. *He was driving a white 2004 Honda Pilot with a California license plate number 5JBC311
I’ve attached the news story link. I will edit as I get more info.

About 15 years ago I had a kind of pancake/bread in a Thai/fusion restaurant. Much lighter than a roti/chapati, possibly/probably fermented (definitely leavened in some way) more like a dosa really, but made in a criss-cross kind of lattice?
Any ideas? I really want to try this out at home. I'm no longer working in the industry.
To add, I'm an Indian restaurant trained chef coming from a European cuisine background. I've got decades of experience, but there are obviously holes in my knowledge and experience...

Bonjour,
Je suis actuellement contractuel dans la fonction publique et ai un contrat jusqu'à mi-mai on m'a confirmé que celui-ci allait être renouvelé. Le poste est lié à l'événementiel donc la rémunération est très variable de 1500€ en période creuse à 2300€ en pleine saison en faisant le maximum d'heure supp et des heures de nuit(+150€ de tickets restaurant). Problème le travail est vraiment peu engageant avec des collègues qui font n'importe quoi en étant quasi intouchables via leur statut et surtout je n'aurais aucune augmentation significative avant au moins 5 ans. De plus je dois m'y déplacer en voiture ce qui fait une dépense de 180 à 250€ pour l'essence, assurance et l'entretient (si j'étale les dépenses ponctuelles pour simplifier) et je paye 345€ de loyer pour un T2 avec ma compagne qui paye sa moitié.
Depuis 1mois je me suis mis sur le marché du recrutement, j'ai de nombreuses offres privées comme publiques. J'ai déjà passé quelques entretiens et certaines offres sont très prometteuses, en province on me promet souvent 1800€ à 2000€ en fixe et à Paris 2000-2400€.
Une boîte parisienne avec laquelle les discussions sont très avancées et dont le projet me plaît beaucoup me propose 2000€ net + cantine le midi + remboursement du pass navigo + possibilité d'heure supp et de déplacement avec prime mais surtout une possibilité de passer cadre dans 2 ans.
Repartir de 0 peu importe où je déménagerais ne me dérange pas. Même si ça veut dire partir avec mon laptop et 3 chemises
L'offre parisienne fait-elle sens dans mon cas où je sous-estime le coût de la vie à Paris ?
En vous remerciant d'avance de vos avis constructifs sur ma situation.
PS : Oui mon compte est tout neuf, je préfère garder l'anonymat pour ce genre discussions.

Thanks to this subreddit for all of the help planning our trip, I figured I'd give back by sharing some tips and tricks we learned on our 10 day vacation that we took mid-March. We did 4 nights in Jaco, 3 in Manuel Antonio and 3 in La Fortuna. FWIW- we are a 20-something couple with mixed tastes for adventure vs. chill vacations.
Accomodations:

1. Jaco- Croc's Resort and Casino- We started our trip in Jaco, which was actually an add-on to our original, shorter vacation when we came upon extra vacation days. We weren't super hype on it because of mixed reviews from this subreddit but it far surpassed our expectations. Croc's vibe was low-key overall. The pools were very nice and pool bar food and drinks were great and reasonably priced. There were some families with kids but not a ton. The casino was very understated and we never saw more than a few people inside during our stay. This hotel had the nicest gym of our trip with a number of cardio and weight machines and a spacious interior.
2. Manuel Antonio- Gaia Hotel and Nature Reserve- A stunning property. Rooms are (I believe) all suites with 2 rooms, massive bathrooms and private balconies. The restaurant, La Luna, was one of the best dinners we had on our entire trip. All of the staff knew us by name and room number and really went above and beyond. You are paired with a concierge upon arrival who you can chat with via WhatsApp and can help coordinate transportation, reservations, excursions, etc. The hotel has an hourly shuttle to the beach where you have to pay appx. $10/day for chairs and umbrella. The private nature reserve offers a complimentary daily walking tour. We didn't really see any animals on ours but the guide was knowledgeable and passionate about protecting habitats for animals. There are a number of sloths, monkeys, macaws, etc. that independently roam the property as well. The gym was very small (some free weights, 1 treadmill, 1 bike and 1 weight machine) and required reservations in advance. Also very, very hot inside.
3. La Fortuna- The Royal Corin- Lovely, large rooms with volcano views and spa showers. The hot springs are HOT and we could happily have a drink in the pool bar but definitely have to hop out for a break after one drink. The hot springs are heated via aqueducts that move the volcanic heat up to the surface to heat the pools so the springs aren't entirely natural like they are at Ecotermales. Skip the restaurants for dinner, but their buffet breakfast was 10/10. Their gym, like Gaia's, left a lot to be desired. A few machines and free weights but the gym is a separate building in the parking lot that has no AC and functions, essentially, as a natural sauna because of how hot it gets.

Travel: We opted not to rent a car due to discomfort with driving on the narrow, winding, mountainous roads between towns and opted to take private shuttles for transportation to/from the airport from the hotels and mainly had concierges/restaurant staff call us taxis for regular trips. Taxis only take cash, colones or USD, but typically had appropriate change for us. We only had success with getting Ubers a few times, mainly in La Fortuna.
Packing: We are glad we opted entirely for casual clothing options- quick-dry, sweat wicking shirts and shorts during the days and lightweight dresses, shorts and short sleeve button downs for dinners. We mainly wore sneakers for most excursions (zip lining, hiking, national parks), casual sandals and Birkenstocks for dinners, and Teva sandals for beach, waterfall swims.
Excursions:
Jaco- In addition to surfing and beach time, we did the one-day Isla Tortuga tour via Costa Cat Cruises and a trip to Los Suenos Adventure Park. Costa Cat was expensive but worth it- 45 min. ferry ride to Isla Tortuga where you reach a private beach and have chairs with umbrellas, a delicious included casado lunch, a short snorkeling trip (about 30-45 mins with a short boat ride out and back), and banana boats. We did zip lining at Los Suenos which had people of all ages- 6 years to 70 years and was a good use of a few hours.
Manuel Antonio- We did a small group guided tour of the park at 7AM when they opened- Definitely suggest doing the earliest tour possible before it gets too crowded and while the animals are most active. The guides worked together to spot some monkeys, sloths, frogs, iguanas, etc. with their scopes and visitors took turns looking through the scopes to see closer. We were going to do white water rafting but opted not to due to the rapids being a bit rougher than what we were prepared for. The public beaches are very nice and the waves are small. Water was incredibly warm.
La Fortuna- Would 100% recommend the full-day Arenal volcano/Hanging bridges/Waterfall trip from Green Vacations. If we didn't have a guide, it would be entirely unlikely that we would have been able to spot any animals, but the guides are so well trained (shout out to Pepe) that they can smell monkey poop to indicate where to look with their scopes. We were nervous about how long the day would be but we left feeling energized. I will say, the day required a moderate level of physical activity to keep up on all of the walking. Separately, we did a coffee/chocolate tour at North Fields Farm which was also a highlight of the trip if you are interested in the process of growing, harvesting and making these products.
Dining:
Jaco- Recommend El Manglar and El Hicaco for dinner. We had a casual dinner at Puddle Fish Brewery as well. The sodas are good for lunches and causal breakfasts too.
La Fortuna- We ate at Pollo Fortueno which came recommended highly from this sub but we were unfortunately, disappointed. We had better meals at more off-the-beaten path places like China La Familia Feliz which was a spectacular Peruvian-asian fusion restaurant.
Manuel Antonio- La Luna was amazing. Get the Costa Rican casserole. Falafel bar also really yummy. Skip Ronny's Place. The food was very meh.
Other things we learned:

• While everywhere accepts USD, they will absolutely not accept a bill that is even a little bit ripped.
• Most everywhere also accepts credit card, Amex included.
• The beaches are very firm, hard sand. Perfect for walking and running on, less great for laying in the sand. The ocean waves are mild-moderate in the areas we visited, perfect for learning to surf or for kiddos to swim.
• We didn't have any issues with people trying to trick us/take advantage of us as tourists. Everyone we met was very nice and appreciative of us. My boyfriend speaks moderate Spanish so that was also helpful, although most people aside from taxi drivers spoke English as well.
• Jaco didn't seem overly "party vibe" to us. On the nights we were back at the hotel by 10pm we didn't see any evidence of excessive partying. Actually, the town felt very laid back beach vibes.
• Restaurants close on the early side- most by 9:30/10ish

T:lDR - Curious on your thoughts on 2 week trip in August. I've shared some of our current choices and would love to hear your thoughts on them or some place that isn't on the list!
We've got 2 weeks in August to travel before our kid goes back into school and wanted to find a place to relax, do some simple stuff during the day and enjoy some good food in the evenings. Don't really care for Disney-esk type stuff that's stereotypically touristy. It's just not enjoyable to us. We like really good food, exploring, half day morning activities, rest, go have a killer dinner and relax for the night. Stuff like that.
Some of the options we're considering...
(Leaving from NYC area)

Scandinavia

We keep going back to the idea of Scandinavia, but honestly it's really far from our knowledge base so I don't know where to start or how we'd kill 2 weeks there. Mostly when I read up on it people are going somewhere like Copenhagen for a few days or people visiting family for longer trips. Not going for 2 weeks to chill somewhere and do a wide variety of touristy stuff with kids. Again, I'm clueless about it. So welcome to thoughts.

First class high speed train route - Geneva / Paris area. Few days in each city.

Still researching this option. Seems fun with the kid since the train rides are pretty short. Longest is Paris to Geneva - 3 hours.

San Miguel De Allende

Positives

• Can get absurd properties for a fraction of a 5 star hotel in a typical city Example.
• Safe and American friendly. Big expat community.
• Plenty of half day activities.
• Private driver.
• House cleaning several times a week some places even have on site morning cooks.
• Dry and 70s with low rain.
• Some of the best food Mexico has to offer - Not to mention amazing rooftop restaurants.

Negatives

• Flights are abysmal - Either leave super early or land super late and stay an airport hotel killing 2-3 days of the trip.
• It's on the smaller side and cobblestone so not super kid friendly for 2 weeks. *Would realistically be - getting driven somewhere, explore, doing something, and driven home.

Paris

(or maybe somewhere like Annecy - I've see it recommended here a few times).
Positives

• It's Paris...
• Great food - I don't think we had a single bad meal there last time.
• It's a comfort pick - we've been there before.
• Lots of stuff to do with kids.
• Uber is easy if we are tired of walking.
• Some nice Airbnbs.

Negatives

• August is not the best time to go there.
• Crowded with tourists (I know, just like us...).
• We were then only a few years ago.
• Honestly, not a lot of Negatives.

Barcelona

• Basically like Paris for us, we went within the last 5 years, loved it, but Barcelona felt better as a couples trip, not a couple with a 3yo. All the kid stuff is the basic stuff we have here in NYC. Beaches in summer, Aquarium, Zoo, Parks, Junk Food. I could be wrong though. Out of the 10 "stuff to do with kids" lists like 3/4 of it was "Park + Junk Food."

Vancouver

This is a bit of a wild card. My wife and I have only passed through here ages ago before we even knew each other. We are going to Montreal for 2 weeks in July so not sure if I want to go back to Canada (even though it's like trying to compare LA to NYC...) so soon. But it is supposedly amazing to travel with kids and enjoy a nice 5 star hotel with a pool for 2 weeks.
Well - hopefully that wasn't too long!

One of our favorite moments of Spring is when we get to share Frontera with you all. That moment begins today!
Bottles of Frontera are now available on our website for anyone in Arizona and Kentucky. They'll be on the shelves at the distillery later this morning at 11:00 AM MST. And they'll be hitting retailers and restaurants in Arizona, California, New York, Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee this week.

Frontera is an annual limited collection of Whiskey Del Bac Classic aged in new American White Oak, then finished an additional 13 months in Pedro Ximénez Sherry botas. The American single malt is named after the medieval city, Jerez de la Frontera, which sits on what was once the edge of Spain and is known as the world capital of sherry wine. There are limited bottles nationwide. Each has an ABV of 48.5% and is 97 proof.

“You can’t be broke and happy, so me I’m MAD RICH”- “Throw it in the Bag” from “No Ceilings”
Dear Wayne,
I condensed 5 intro pages into 1 to catch your attention. (Later on the 5 pages can be read in full.) Basically, I am 20, graduated high school in 2008. If YOUNG MONEY FILMS exist, I want to work my way up to the highest available position. My passions are reading, writing and speaking. I have been writing original poems since I was 7.
You are such a mobile and goal oriented person, it’s challenging to get something in your hands, no homo. The purpose of this publication is to convey to you, Wayne, how valuable I believe I am regarding YOUNG MONEY FILM’s eternal success. With the right amount of experience I can be a serious threat, a real serious threat. On an interview you mentioned wanting to step in front of the camera a likkle more (likkle Wayne). Out of all the Hollywood studios I would prefer to enter Hollywood thru YOUNG MONEY FILMS and if given the chance, I’ll personally make sure you earn a billion units of currency due to our organized efforts. I just want your co-sign. What Baby did for you, I want a similar opportunity. If by some GODLY force your eyes are actually feasting upon this written material, my biggest dreams are being realized. On your “Behind the Music” you said “being able to say I was CASH MONEY were some of the happiest moments of my life.” In my bedroom closet I have 52 pictures for inspiration while writing movies and you’re on 12 out of 52.
I imagine just how wonderful it actually feels to be “Young Money FILMS”. On the original “I want dis forever” Drake said “I’m so UN-SIGNED; it would blow one’s mind.” And on the “official” “Forever”, he was YOUNG MONEY. I want to earn my way there. So if this never reached you, you would never know how crushed I truly am, my eyes are becoming teary but I deserve everything I receive. So if I deserve at Least 1 physical audition to prove my value to your camp, please grant it.
If you can not feel my passion through these pages then I ask you to fly me out to your location once free from prison. You will definitely sense my passion in person. On your “weezy thanx you” website you requested fans only send you 1 page letters but I am a business partner thus, an entire published book. I thank you for at least opening it. So I want to end the introduction briefly summarizing 3 movie ideas I am currently outlining.
“Ah Hell Naw!” An original idea courtesy of YOUNG MONEY FILMS: I’m walking around my old job carrying a notebook and it got me thinking, the scariest thing to a creative artist would be if something was hell bent on stealing my ideas. Like Wayne just imagine, some devilish creature ACTUALLY stealing your rhymes before you can record them and completely wiping your memory of it. It never fails; a creature whose purpose was to steal your drive, your passions, your hobbies, is basically stealing your life force.
5 They just leave you lethargic. To some people, this is worse than death. The theme and moral is “chores don’t kill, so get them done.”

1. Steven Spielberg scared the crap out of the world with “Jaws”. The next YOUNG MONEY FILMS

commercial hit is this: over the last million years, the oceans began drying up and sharks began evolving to live on land. They operate like big cats do basically. Where “Jaws” made it unsafe for people to swim, this makes it unsafe for people to be outside period. That’s what makes it so scary, in “Jaws” you had to swim to be a victim, here it is so different. It’s not realistic but once immersed in the story, you are so happy it may never happen. And if Sharks do in fact evolve to live on land, we called it 1st with GOD’s help here at YOUNG MONEY. These sharks pounce like tigers, lions and panthers. They evolve to the point where they have wings. It will be a fantasy and all the explanations come from evolution, not genetic mutation, that’s outdated. Where the Jaws poster had the shark swallowing a person from the bottom, our film will have the Great white shark swallowing the person from the top; he’s flying down. I see so much potential in this film particularly. Monday, August 09, 2010 8/9/2010 4:24:54 PM
The Blockkk is Hot Volume 1, Episode 1: Running from the Police
FADE IN
3 African American teenage males are being pulled over for a “routine” traffic stop. The on duty officers are white of course. The responding officer calls in for backup to even out the citizen to police officer ratio. 2 more police squad cars arrive on the scene. An officer from the 2nd squad car walks slowly to the left side, watching the back seat passenger. The 1st officer runs the vehicle’s license plate for warrants and or tickets. The initial police officer finally gets out of his car and walks over to the driver of the vehicle.
The 1st officer asks the driver for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver is extremely nervous but nonetheless he complies. The officer receives the information and walks back over to his squad car. The officer from the 3rd car walks over to the 1st officer’s car door. They both engage in conversation over what they are allowed to do with the “suspects”.
The three African American males observe their environment and notice the 2nd police officer watching over them. Suddenly a van carrying 6, including the driver, African American adult males armed with specialized weapons notices the scene. They pull over on
6
the opposite side of the road several hundred feet away from the “traffic” stop.
They drop off 2 passengers, each armed with a high powered sniper rifle to “spot” them. The other 4 passengers viciously load, cock and aim their sub- machine guns towards the “innocent” police officers. The 2 snipers each aim at their respective officer’s head and fire. This leaves 2 of the 3 officers down and fatally injured.
The African American teenage male located in the backseat is the first to notice the 2nd officer as he falls to the ground. Blood is sprayed on the window and in his view. The 2nd officer is hit by the 2nd sniper and his accurate hollow point bullet. This scares the 1st officer shit-less because he is closest to the 2nd officer and is now the only one left alive. The van full of single purpose driven cop killers is now side by side the 1st squad car and the 3 armed passengers already have their door open. These same gunmen riddle the officer with one round of semi automatic bullets. The officer is not able to return fire quickly enough and thus never stood a chance.
While this is going on, the 3 African American teenage males are jumping in their seats. They then all duck down because they have no idea what is going on. They realize the police officers are under fire but they don’t know from who, why, and if they themselves are also targets.
They are obviously not because if they were, they too would be slumped in their vehicle as well. The 3 armed passengers leave their sub machine guns in the van, only take 1 silenced pistol and one 9mm with them as they exit the van.
The cop killers pull the 1st police officer’s dead corpse from “his” squad car and lay him on the 2nd officer in an assumed homosexual position as a joke. Each cop killer relocates into a squad car and prepares to drive off. Right at this moment another squad car is seen driving down the road at a calm pace. The new squad car slows down to investigate the interesting scene. The gunman in the bloodiest squad car cocks and aims both his pistols at the new squad car as a defensive tactic.
It is now revealed the driver of the investigating squad car is JARVIS, the 2nd in command of this “elite” and
7
“exquisitely prepared operation”. JARVIS rolls down the window and smiles at his soldiers. He tells the soldiers to “keep up the outstanding progress” and drives off as he turns on the police car sirens and flashing lights.
The 1st gunman walks over to the teenager’s car and returns his driver license. He tells the driver he is free to go, his license is clean and hands him a brochure to attend a meeting based on what they just witnessed here. As the 3 gunmen drive off calmly in all different directions the camera freezes and the title credits roll. The “Tyga Tyga song La La La Boom” song plays as the credits play out.
Once the credits finish we cut to JARVIS meditating silently and alone in his bedroom closet. We observe him taking his 1st 5 deep inhalations and exhalations. We cut to JARVIS in his high school cafeteria in the 11th grade. JARVIS is sitting at a table filled with people chattering about him, about others, to him and to others. He is bored of this and gets up to throw away his empty food tray.
He tells his table he will meet them after school lets out as he heads to the library. JARVIS heads into the school library and gives the librarian his school identification. He observes a class sitting with their teacher at the middle of the library receiving a lecture of some sort. He walks over to the student computer area and takes a seat. He logs into his account and pulls up internet explorer 8. He googles afro centricity and is taken to www.thetalkingdrum.com.
The talking drum website is full of an abundance of detailed information regarding America’s race relations “policies”. He clicks on a tab titled “Cointelpro” identifying what Cointelpro really is. He reads on Cointelpro until the lunch bell rings 15minutes later.
He has 25 pages left and he prints out 5 pages on Cointelpro and exits the library after picking up his heaven sent information. He walks into his class and as he enters the room, the camera doesn’t follow him in. We cut back to JARVIS meditating in his closet. We see JARVIS taking 5 more breaths before we cut to him giving an arousing speech at a nearby youth center in a NYC neighborhood.
JARVIS
8
WE SHALL NEVER AGAIN BE NEUTRALIZED...WE SHALL INSTEAD SHOOT UNTIL WE DIE!!!
We cut back to JARVIS meditating. JARVIS stands up, puts a shirt on and exits the closet. He has his loaded shotgun strapped around his back safely to avoid shooting himself. He sits at his study desk and draws out the final blueprints of his latest plans. On top his bookshelf, away from the other books are 2 books on police dispatching systems and 1 book on proper grenade usage and handling.
We cut to a group of armed soldiers exiting a black “cable company” van. 4 African American males pull ghostface masks over their faces, load their automatic rifles and with heavy determination enter a doomed police precinct. There are 4 men on the “bad side”: CARLOS, JOSE, ALEX and DANIEL. CARLOS is the commanding officer of this particular squad and enters the building with DANIEL by his side. They both waste no time in firing upon the innocent and ignorant police officers.
They really have little time to execute their plans due to the visibility of their artillery and their face masks. CARLOS shoots 3 cops in the face, neck and back, back to back to back. DANIEL takes out 2 more officers with his rifle while ALEX throws a smoke grenade over DANIEL’s shoulder. JOSE equips himself to ALEX’s right side and throws an armed war grenade into the hallway of the police station. Just as the upstairs officers head downstairs with their game face on, they are blown away “right on time”.
As the smoke fills up the room, all 4 assailants release heavy fire upon the hidden police officers even more. They hear more screams from the cops and are now unsure how many more they have killed. They all head outside of the police station through the front door. CARLOS radios the driver, JARVIS, to return and pick them up. As JARVIS pulls up, they all notice back up police officer squad cars stopping on the corner to “engage” them in battle.
Just then, JARVIS jumps out of the vehicle, mask on his face, grenade launcher in hand and aims steadily at the cop cars. He successfully blows them all up. The explosion knocks everyone except JARVIS to the ground. They all get up, get inside the van and drive off. JARVIS is happier at this outcome than one may expect or be able to stomach.

We now cut to a black screen reading: “Chapter 1, Laying Plans”. Cut to JARVIS standing at the head of a table with a room full of warriors listening to his every word. He explains the process of war, “it is an art”.
We cut to JARVIS and CARLOS walking in front of a different police station with land mines in their hands. They kneel down together and each plant 5 mines in a line as a trap. They then both throw 3 smoke grenades and 2 war grenades into the police station. They both walk away calmly to the corner where ALEX is waiting in the van.
As they open the van door, the 4 grenades blow up and 2 dead officers are blasted into the empty street. As they close the van door they notice the smoke exiting the building and 5 officers run out of the building in fear and curiosity. All 5 of these oblivious officers activate a separate land mine and are effectively terminated in the blast. The van drives off away from the “unwarranted chaos”. JARVIS is still seen laughing uncontrollably or giggling like a giddy little school girl, whichever feels best. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS speaking to an African American militant sniper about an upcoming battle. 3 police cruisers responding to an “emergency call” park on the block. JARVIS asks the sniper, SUNNY, if he is ready and SUNNY responds in the affirmative. JARVIS walks down the stairs as he polishes his left oozy. He puts it in his left gun shoulder strap and then pulls out his right oozy. He tells himself “One at a time JARVIS, just one at a time. All things come to those who act as if and who believe in CHRIST.”
JARVIS walks through bushes taller than him quietly enough to position himself right next to an unsuspecting officer. The officer’s partner notices the oozy barrel sticking out of the bush and right when he opens his mouth; BOOM! The sniper’s 1st kill assisted JARVIS’ 1st kill. As the 1st officer investigates his partner’s body, JARVIS guns him down with the oozy. Since 2 officers have been gunned down, the remaining 4 officers call in for back up as they are engaged in heavy gunfire.
Now they realize it is a horrible set up by armed
10
citizens. JARVIS shoots the windshield to pieces while SUNNY shoots down one more officer. This leaves 2 more and JARVIS precisely pitches an armed grenade into the squad car. SUNNY the sniper takes out the last squad car with a rocket launcher. (This is designed to make the audience laugh due to dramatic irony; neither JARVIS nor the cops know a rocket launcher has entered the equation). JARVIS is blown 5 feet away from the site. The scene freezes and cuts back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
We cut to JARVIS and ALEX driving in the by now so recognizable van, not to the police but to the audience. They park the car 50 yards away from a police officer occupied with giving someone a ticket. JARVIS exits the van, loads up his favorite pink sniper rifle, aims it at the officer’s head and positions himself.
Just in case the officer has a partner in the passenger side ALEX loads his sniper rifle, aims it where the passenger would exit the vehicle and alerts JARVIS of his readiness. JARVIS executes the cop and as the bullet exits the chamber, the camera zooms out, pans over to the cop’s perspective and the officer then falls to the ground. We cut back to JARVIS’ lesson plans.
JARVIS Always remember lack of planning brings about defeat.
We cut to a high school lecture given by a retiring police officer dated 2 weeks before the 1st attack on the police forces officially commenced. 20 students enter into their criminal justice 2nd period one after the other. As they position themselves into their seats, their teacher, Mr. BRADLEY, announces the day’s special guest. Officer O’Charley begins his lecture. A student, DESTIN, asks the officer a question about his utility belt. Officer O’Charley answers DESTIN’s question.
We cut to a masked gunman brandishing a double barreled shotgun. He is walking behind an unsuspecting police officer giving a traffic ticket on the side of the road. The criminal shoots the officer in the head and neck twice in rapid succession, as it should be. He then steals the officer’s car and drives off calmly.
11
We cut back to Officer O’Charley’s school lesson. He is explaining the obvious usefulness of his handcuffs. We cut to 2 officers responding to an “emergency call” at a local residence. A white couple is arguing outside at each other with a bat and a machete in their hands. The police officers exit the car and immediately brandish their trusty firearms.
They ask the couple to put their weapons away and step over to the vehicle. 2 masked white men in all black clothing ambush the bitch ass police officers. The 1st white man, TJ, shoots the 1st cop in the neck with a tranq gun. As the next officer turns around to investigate and then shoot, the other white man DARWIN guts him like a fish with his freshly sharpened Katana.
TJ walks over to the “sleeping” officer and handcuffs him with his own handcuffs. DARWIN ties a black bag over his head, ties a rope around his neck extra tight and he and TJ lift the officers one by one back into their cars. TJ and DARWIN get in the squad car, drive it to the corner and park it sideways; blocking the road off partially. As they exit the car they each arm 2 grenades, leave them in the car and walk back down to the crime scene as the car explodes. The explosion serves as the transition to the next scene.
We see Officer O’Charley answering a question from student ADAM WAGNER concerning his upcoming retirement. Officer O’Charley informs ADAM of his gut feeling to leave the force. He feels something horrible is being plotted by “horrible” people. He then goes on to say he could just be “horribly wrong.” We cut to JARVIS, once again laying out the “business plans”. We cut to 5 police officers inside a police precinct discussing recent arrests. Their names are STEVEN, NICOLAS, JACK, WILLIAM TYRELL and TOMMY LEE.
STEVEN So I’m taking this guy in for disturbing the peace and being drunk in public right, and all of sudden he decides to puke all over my back seat. It was just so disgusting man, like seriously. How am I supposed to drive that car around town now? I kind of wished I had just left him be. TOMMY LEE Ah man STEVEN that’s nothing bro. I responded to a call about 3 months ago, epileptic seizure or something of that nature. Right as the paramedics arrive on the scene this lady starts puking in my arms. NICOLAS puts his arm around TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as he
12
pokes fun at him, smile on his face
NICOLAS I didn’t even know people could vomit while under seizures. TOMMY LEE shifts his position so he and NICOLAS are having a heart to heart conversation. NICOLAS’ arm falls off of TOMMY LEE’s shoulder as a result.
TOMMY LEE I know right! That’s exactly what I’m saying. I know now though. But all in all though, I gave that nice lady some comfort in her time of need so it’s not a big deal at all. Now you on the other hand STEVEN...that shit’s just funny as fuck. At this moment the police station door opens and 5 ball- like items are slung violently in all directions inside the building. The officers are still trying to figure out what is happening when the items start fulfilling their purposes. One item is a homemade tear gas canister, another is a smoke grenade, one is a poison gas canister and two are live, war grenades designed to maim, kill and neutralize. The 5 officers along with the rest of the people inside the building begin to gag, choke, cough and suffocate before the grenade blows them up.
We cut back to JARVIS and his lesson plans.
JARVIS Ok so, Chapter 3: Attacking by stratagem; the easiest part. JARVIS pulls the sides of his sports jacket closer together symbolizing his inner confidence.
JARVIS So here are the rules: if our forces are 10 to our enemy’s 1, we surround him.
We cut to a white male in all blue and a gas mask walking up very quickly to a local police precinct. He pulls out 5 ball like items from his bag, drops the bag and opens the police station double doors. He launches all 4 weapons into the police station, closes the door, picks up his bag and makes a dash for the corner. A black cable van arrives to pick him up. He enters the vehicle and they drive off as the explosions occur. We cut to a police officer walking out of a coffee shop with a brew in his hand. We see a white man in all black with a Halloween mask on smashing the cop’s squad car up with a spiked baseball bat. The cop, outraged, brandishes his pistol after dropping his coffee on the ground.
OFFICER DALY
13
Freeze bitch! Hands up now! What the fuck do you think you’re doing man? What’s wrong with you man? Are you insane? ZACHARY JUKEL I didn’t do it...I fucking swear. It was a black dude. ZACK puts his hands up after dropping the bat. 10 machine gun brandishing African American militants appear from around the corner and gun down OFFICER DALY with immense ease.
ZACK What took you all so long man? I was almost dead! CORNELIUS He wasn’t going to kill you JUKEL man, you white. ZACK Yea, bet. CORNELIUS Let’s lift this sack of shit up and place his ass on top of his squad car, since he cares ‘bout it so much. Both ZACK and CORNELIUS lift up the dead officer on top of his cruiser. ZACK pours gasoline all over his body and inside the car. CORNELIUS strikes a match and throws it inside the car and the big group disperses before the flames attract more officers and firemen.
CORNELIUS Ok, this motherfucker’s toast, let’s skedaddle. We cut back to JARVIS explaining the plans. We cut to an interracial teenage couple sitting on a couch listening to music playing from a white laptop.
CARTER How was economics today SASHA? SASHA Oh it was just grand (very enthusiastically) Mr. Woods is just so freaking entertaining man. He was telling us of a story about a student he had on the 1st day of school a few years ago. He was an Asian student drinking water out a tall, plastic bottle. Mr. Woods kept noticing the student laughing and blurting out random nonsense right? CARTER Um hum, keep going. SASHA So Mr. Woods walks over to the student’s desk, picks up the bottle, opens it and smells it. He then figured out it was some sort of hard liquor and had to suspend the student. So his moral was water only, but he had to be allowed to smell it first. It was much funnier coming straight from him. I mean, his facial expressions are priceless man. CARTER Yea, that was pretty entertaining. You do a great job SASHA. You really do. SASHA leans in to kiss CARTER on the lips. She puts her hand on his cheek and keeps it there longer than
14
necessary which shows how much she does adore him.
SASHA Ok, now your turn boo, tell me a funny story taking place in high school pls.
CARTER looks up and to the right, gathers the appropriate memory and begins.
CARTER Ok, I have one. CARTER sits up straight to better illustrate his short tale.
CARTER My junior year at Salem, there was this new girl from Upstate New York. Her name was BELINDA SOSA. People called her BELLA. Boy was she beautiful, but nevertheless, we never ever spoke. So one day I’m talking to DIAMOND, a good friend of mine, after school and she gives me BELLA’s phone number. This was when I had a boost mobile cell phone and BELLA also had a Nextel. So that allowed us to chirp each other. You know about chirping right? SASHA You mean the walkie talkie feature right? CARTER Yes, exactly. So anyway right, later on that night I decide to engage in premature acts known commonly as prank calling. She has no idea who I am so I chirp her every morning as I walk to the bus stop right. Next thing you know her popular boy friend, TREY NEWTON, chirped me back and said he was hell bent on whooping my ass.
SASHA leans in closer to CARTER’s chin, looks up at him with a smile on her face and asks him
SASHA So were you in the least bit afraid? CARTER Oh yes, he was so popular, I was like ‘maybe I should stop soon.’ SASHA So did you stop then? CARTER Hell to the fuck Nah. Both SASHA and CARTER share a hearty laugh together. CARTER One day she chirps me and uses my full name, CARTER SIMMONS. SASHA’s eyes widen up in complete surprise and suspense. CARTER I was like, what in the hell? I was so scared man, like how’d she get my whole government name? Turns out when I chirped her, my information was also sent to her. By then it was a little too late but I still decided to change my information for future reference purposes. CARTER So a few days later I’m in the lunchroom, standing in a long line waiting to buy a lunch. All of a sudden, bleep bleep, my phone starts going off. Somebody was chirping me. The 1st thing
15
popping in my mind was ‘hell nah, this girl trying to find me. She’s trying to jam a nigga up man.’ She almost had me too. I figured she was also in the lunchroom somewhere so I secretly pull my phone out and turn that bitch off. Maybe I wasn’t slick enough and she had somebody looking out for me and they saw me. So after school as I’m walking down the stairs to my bus I turn my phone back on and chirp her. We made jokes about how she almost caught me. She called me a punk for being afraid of her boyfriend. SASHA So where’s the climax and resolution? I wanna finish nibbling on your ears and once it’s out of my system, you can return the favor. Only if that’s cool with you though. CARTER So here’s the end; I’m in literature class sitting at a table full of women, as it should be. All of a sudden TIFFANY GREEN walks over to me and asks me; ‘are you CARTER SIMMONS?’ and I’m like Noooo. She then says ‘yes you are man!’ then I say ‘yes I am but why.’ She just says ‘oh no reason.’ I pretty much figured out what was going on because I recognized TIFFANY as part of BELLA’s clique. So a few days later I’m posted up eating lunch away from the cafeteria and all of a sudden BOOM! Both TIFFANY and BELLA walk up to me and it so shocked me SASHA. I promise SASHA, I didn’t faint but it was intense. BELLA’s just there smiling all in my face like we’re friends and everything. At that point, the chirp fest was over, my game was up. She had figured me out with the help of a friend. Had TIFFANY never been in my lit. class it probably could’ve gone on much longer too. So before she walked away I screamed out ‘BELLA’, she turns around and I continued ‘did you think I was going to hurt you?’ She shook her head no and called me a pussy. We never spoke after this but if she did see me, I’m sure she laughed to herself. Ok so story over SASHA, my ear’s ready.
SASHA laughs and continues to nibble on CARTER’s ear.
We cut to JARVIS laying plans.
JARVIS If we know our enemy and know ourselves, we don’t have to fear the result of a hundred battles. If we know ourselves but not our enemy, for every victory gained we will also suffer a defeat. And if we know neither the enemy nor ourselves, we will succumb in every single ...motherfucking battle. And that is just not acceptable.
We cut to a dark room. We only hear muffled voices. The sliding door opens up and the light is turned on. We see 10 officer’s arms tied to the ceiling. They are all standing on top of folding chairs and are gagged and blindfolded. 5 masked figures brandishing Katana swords close the door back and begin attacking the police officers. The 1st militant begins yelling “AW!” out loud while aiming his Katana at a cop’s belly. He goes into a complete rage, kicking the chair from underneath several officers and gutting the officers like helpless fish. They are extremely helpless at this point. They can’t even see what is coming their way. The remaining 4 militants decide to shoot the
16
officers in their heads instead of dooming them to the fate their crazed comrade has in store for them. The psycho militant’s name is DARIUS.
DARIUS Ok, I’m hungry, who’s up for dinner? SAMMIE I don’t see myself eating until at least 24 hrs. EDDIE Yea, I think I’m going to be sick. DARIUS Enchiladas it is then!
Cut back to JARVIS laying plans. We cut to CHARLEY, a 19 year old college student sitting at his dining room table. He is eating lunch before work and SAM PAGE, his mother’s boyfriend, enters the apartment. They begin talking about how PAGE is suspended from work for 3 days because some one snitched on him. Someone at his job has also been taking the caps off of his rims and he suspects the snitch to be in on it as well.
PAGE heads into the master bedroom to shower up and change. CHARLEY looks up as the door closes, smirks to himself and continues to eat his blueberry waffles. We cut back to JARVIS and his dictation.
JARVIS Ok groupies, chapter 5, energy. Controlling a large force uses the same exact principles as controlling a few men; it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers. Fighting with a large army under your command is no different than fighting with a small one. Direct or indirect maneuvers can make sure your host withstands the brunt of the enemy’s attack while remaining unshaken. The direct method in all fighting may be used for joining battle but indirect method will be needed in order to secure victory. Properly applied indirect tactics are as inexhaustible as heaven and earth. They are as unending as the flow of rivers and streams and like the Sun and Moon they end, only to begin anew. Like the four seasons, they pass away only to return again once more. There are not more than 5 musical notes yet the combination of these 5 give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. There are not more than 5 base colors; blue, yellow, red, white and black yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever be seen. There are not more than 5 cardinal tastes; sour, acrid, salt, sweet and bitter yet their combinations yield more flavors than can ever be tasted. TRAVIS Now you gotta nigga wanting to listen to music, paint some scenery and eat some dinner. JARVIS TRAVIE Shut Cho ass UP! Anyway nigga, there are not more than 2 attack methods in battle; the direct and the indirect. Yet these 2 combined give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.
We cut to CHARLEY at his job, a local supermarket where he is
17
the resident superstar. His manager Mr. PINSON introduces him to a new employee, JAFAR TATMAN. CHARLEY walks JAFAR around the job and shows him the work areas. An older African American male asks JAFAR to help him pick out a prime watermelon for his mother. JAFAR calls over CHARLEY to help them out. The older man begins to berate and insult CHARLEY for no apparent reason. He tells CHARLEY he could learn from JAFAR and JAFAR tells the customer it is CHARLEY’s 1st day. JAFAR’s a fucking asshole basically. JAFAR and CHARLEY walk away laughing together about the incident. JAFAR tells CHARLEY “not to offend anymore innocent customers!”
We cut back to JARVIS and chapter 6 of his lesson plans. We cut to TEL AVIV, a Swedish visitor to the United States for a year on vacation. She is babysitting 3 young children as part of her agreement to stay at their parent’s house. They are driving in a car and TEL AVIV pulls into a pizza restaurant.

Vous avez sûrement déjà entendu parler de ce fameux quart d'heure, et son concept ainsi que ses usages peuvent être déroutants, voici ce qu'il y a à savoir à ce sujet :
(Disclaimer : les gens ont tendance à avoir leurs propres versions, parce que c'est pratique quand on est en retard de pouvoir invoquer la bienséance comme excuse, entre autres)
Du coup, le concept est simple : quand on est invité chez quelqu'un, il convient d'arriver quelques minutes (5, 10, 15, pas plus) plus tard que l'heure prévue, pour ne pas que l'hôte doive se presser, ou en tout cas pour lui laisser le temps de terminer les préparatifs.
Voici quelques exemples :

Le quart d'heure de politesse s'applique :	Le quart d'heure de politesse ne s'applique pas :
Quand vous êtes invité chez quelqu'un	Le matin au travail
Quand vous êtes invité quelque part dans un lieu autre, mais que la personne qui organise est quelqu'un que vous connaissez	Pour un rendez-vous pro ou tout autre rendez-vous où la ponctualité serait plus importante que la politesse (ex. temps très limité)
	Pour un rendez-vous en dehors de chez quelqu'un (ex. restaurant)
	Si votre hôte doit venir vous récupérer à un point donné, vous attendre quelque part (ex. gare)

​
Quoi qu'il advienne, l'idéal est de ne pas mentionner à l'hôte que vous lui avez laissé un quart d'heure de politesse : vous ne l'avez pas fait pour montrer que vous êtes poli, mais pour vraiment lui laisser un instant de répit.

Bonjour,
J’étais au restaurant avec ma copine et sa famille ce midi et en début d’après-midi, le compte du restaurant dans lequel nous avions mangé ajoute ma copine sur instagram puis se permet de liker deux de ses photos a intervalle de 30 minutes à chaque fois. Elle m’a ensuite dit que l’un des serveurs l’a regardait parfois avec insistance, au point de la déranger. Aussi, elle est abonné au compte de la pizzeria en question et on pense que c’est ainsi qu’il l’a retrouvé.
Cela est-il légal?
