“Holy fucking shit is that John Bon Jovi?”
He has a restaurant in Red Bank NJ that serves free meals to the needy as a core tenet of their business. The guy is a real treasure.
*tenet
Fixed, thanks
An easy way to remember the spelling is to never forget that the 2020 film Tenet sucked.
Humorously, I talked a person off a bridge while scouting for a bridge to jump off of. It was a bad bridge choice and wouldn’t be a guarantee. I like to assume they chose not to find another.
I’m glad you didn’t choose to find another, either. I hope that things in your life are going better for you now, and thank you for helping the other person.
Hope you’re doing alright now.
Marginal.
Step the the right direction. I hope you get better.
I how you’re doing better, but also this sounds like the start to a fun romantic comedy or bro movie. Two strangers doing research on the best bridge to jump off of becoming unlikely friends.
You may appreciate this then. I told them it was a terrible bridge to use, citing the distance it would take to reach terminal velocity, and the surface of the ground below. It was high, sure, but the ground below was at an angle, and soft dirt. It wasn’t possible to get to the “good spot” because of how the walkway was. The chances of failure were a lot higher than I was willing to risk.
So I think I actually bored them out of it with all my planning 😅
Sometimes all it takes for them to step back, it is to be faced with having to go through with the action in detail, not just the presumed relief at the end.
Perhaps it was also the fact they saw someone in the same situation and it made them stop and think for a moment.
Either way, good on you, a life saved is a life saved. Whether through love, empathy or boredom.
Ironically this might be the best course of action regardless of the bridge. Because it’s usually crisis based it doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily find a different bridge to try it on.
Bojack has the best poem for people that look for the bridge.
Genuinely one of the best episodes of any show I’ve ever watched.
The horse?!
Yeah, well it’s not BoJack that reads the poem. Secretariat does, before he “dies”.
How I imagine it went down.
“Don’t do it!”
“But I can’t go on anymore!”
“But I’m Bon Jovi. You can’t kill just yourself in front of Bon Jovi, that’s messed up.”
“…Fine.”Woaaah we’re halfway there, woaaah, come on down from there
You’ll make it, I swear
He did so by playing a cover from Third Eye Blind
Well, he DID say “I’ll be there for you.” He wasn’t lyin’.
These 5 words he said to you.
Now we need Rick Astley to save someone by reciting never gonna give you up
wow so he finally aged
Still has a lot of hair though.
Hero.
Did he sing Living on a Prayer? Glad it wasn’t Third eye blind that was there.
And she sang back “It’s my life”
And then “Have A Nice Day.”
He’s so old, he isn’t even recognizable anymore
Nah, he’s not changed in 20 years.
