Amanda says she’s been having feelings of living off the grid and taking up an Ace of Base level lonely life. Melissa tries to understand why she’s feeling this way. Could it be pandemic exhaustion? Through thoughtful discussion, they decide it’s that she can’t un-know what she now knows too well about our fractured American society. Plus, maybe it’s time to accept and work with (and not against) the knowledge that she’s just not a people person. Melissa loves misanthropy so welcome, Amanda! Amanda also celebrates 20 years since her first date with Chris. An accomplishment Melissa believes should end with WFT or TMJ. If you’ve been a stranger-friend for some time, you don’t even need our glossary to know what that means.
