100% and I think it’s a great idea. Rather have zero chance trying something than zero chance just jumping to die.

Well how the hell else am I supposed to stay hygienic/catch a buzz on my way to work? Answer that one, smart guy.

Well, to rephrase my earlier post, which would you rather do?

A. Jump from 100 floors up with nothing?
B. Jump from 100 floors up with a parachute?

Realize that there’s a one in a billion chance of that happening and continue to do my thang?

Did anyone see those things the Japanese invented that you deploy like a long colon and it looks like it poops you out?

Don’t know how those didn’t catch on.

If it’s your time it’s time.

I work in a tall building by Nola standards and today the power went off for about 5 seconds.

Nimrod sitting near me asked if anyone noticed if a plane hit our building. Wanted to throat punch him

Considering the amount of rubble and people jumping, you would get hit and still fall to your death

Should have. I think HR would have viewed it as justified.

Call me crazy, but I would keep some kind of parachute in my office somewhere. It's not like I would take it home every night.

Call me paranoid, but for this reason i dont even wanna work in a skyscraper. If i do, ima need to be in the bottom 8 floors, so that I can run downstairs in 5 minutes or less.
