Did she regret it? Did she try again?

I believe this is intentional design. No matter what the weather is like the wind will always catch you

She could have jumped again. 84 floors is still pretty high.

In the same building a woman once plunged 75 floors (including the mezzanine) in an elevator and lived. She went all the way to the ground.

The Allfather wove the skein of your life a long time ago. Hide if you wish, but you won't live one instant longer. Your fate is fixed.
AuthenticEunuchHorn
Well then, nobody should give a damn if someone steps in front of a train, or blows their brains out. It was fate that they did it!

I remember this story & my brother's response was "LOSER". OUCH

Suicide has just never been on the table for me. I have tried to rationalize the notion many times. Even now I ponder why life is worth it.

She wanted to end it all but god said: oh no lady, you need to suffer life like all my slave puppets. Get back to work soon.

And that woman's name? Evita Adams.

She survived...until the cops got there...and shot her because she was black...you know, like cops love to do.
HelloThere1812
They shoot everyone, not just black people. Cops are evil, even the ones who are not racist or live in areas without different races.

Very old joke: Late night. Two guys are putting away martinis in the Penthouse Bar of a downtown high rise building about 30 floors up. (1)

The high wind outside is so intense it's making the building sway. One of the guys says to the other, "You know, that wind out there is (2)

and he opens the window at the end of the bar. The wind is howling loud and blowing hard into their faces. Without another word, the (5)

first guy jumps! Through the windows all around the Penthouse Bar, the 2nd guy sees his drunk buddy as the wind carries him 360-degrees (6)

There's a similar joke with a punchline "You know, you're a real asshole when you drink, Mr. Kent."

Your punishment must be more severe. · Torture? · Yes. But not of your body... Of your soul ...

Where was your god when she and all those like her needed help?

Saved this time, but that's more violent trauma. Next time she'll do it somewhere private.

Everyone is cheering this, but one one is helping this poor lady deal with the problems that led her to become suicidal in the first place.
SickSickIndividual
Dude I dont think they just got her into the window then were like "that's a wrap guys, home time." What you want them to do? Keep talking?
JustSomePersonThere
1) Yes, that’s what I believe happened. The left right away instead of talking to her more and following up with therapy.

You can't kermit suicide if you're murdered first. Unless your last name is Epstein ;)

can't commit suicide when you are paralyzed from the neck down.
Cavalrysword
That's an attempted suicide. Take some time and learn suicide prevention. QPR, A.S.I.S..T., C.A.L.M., whatever one is available to you.
showmeyourAorBhole
You mean yelling “you’re not gunna jump you just want the attention” isn’t proper suicide prevention tactics?
Cavalrysword
Absolutely not. And I know you're joking, but this is a very serious subject.

Im too depressed to figure out what that means. Luckily im also such a worthless depressed shit that im also too lazy to commit suicide.
MajorasFlipFlops
Assist was a weird one. It was awkward at times. But definitely glad I took it
Cavalrysword
Yes. The two-day class is much more intensive and can trigger some people who have friends / relatives that killed themselves.
Cavalrysword
Internationally, it is considered the gold standard. And has the highest rate of success. Two 8-hour days versus 1 hour and a half session.

I’m alright

I am glad you are all right. Take care of yourself.

QPR is Queens Park Rangers, they're a football team.
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
An ASIST is when you're the player who passed to the goalscorer and CALM is what you need to be 2-0 at half time. See, it's all football.
