It’s funny you are in St. Louis but if it were surrounded by water you would be on top of it because it’s like a boat or something

I think you do say “on” when referring to Manhattan as an island vs as a burrow

Re: Talk about your day thread
I mean you’re always on the ground or something. I don’t know why it isn’t “in an island” just like it’s “in a city”. Even when you’re in water you’re not on the water you’re in the water, unless you’re on a boat, but that should be in too. In a boat in the water.

Re: Talk about your day thread
It's Sunday 11:39pm as I sit here. I went into the office and did some catch up work today and I keep thinking it's Monday night. Everytime I remember it's only Sunday night I get a bit more depressed.
Fuck.
Fuck.
