"Wild" Is the most used word of the 2020's
Main Post:
Listen for it, look for it. Especially here on Reddit. Wild, Wild is fucking everywhere
Its wild bro.
Top Comment: I’ve been using it in place of words like “crazy” to help avoid ableist overtones. And shit’s been wild lately, y’all.
Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild”
Main Post:
I just finished reading it and am in absolute awe. There are so many striking similarities between Cheryl’s childhood and young adulthood and mine, though mine is admittedly less tragic. I read through the chapters as if reading through the memoir of my doppelgänger, completely empathizing with all of her conflicted feelings towards her family and the questionable decisions she made after experiencing such a tragedy.
I am a 26 year old woman. I know Cheryl. I am Cheryl. I have never read something that has made me feel so seen and understood. Her monumental feat of conquering the PCT is nothing short of inspiring. I wish I had read this book at the height of my familial troubles at 19 as a cautionary tale of mistakes to come but also that triumphs are still possible, even after life-altering trauma.
I looked at past forums on this sub regarding this book expecting to read about other women as inspired by this book as I am, only to see people ragging on Cheryl’s character. Tearing her apart for cheating on her husband and doing drugs. Criticizing her naive understanding of how to properly prepare for the PCT.
She talks about all of this in the book. She doesn’t excuse her actions or pretend like she knew she was adequately prepared. Her story is a deeply raw and vulnerable one. I understand first-hand how poverty and long-lasting familial troubles can lead someone to poor choices. Where is the empathy for her? How can anyone expect a woman who’s lost her most trusted guide in this world to have the wisdom and maturity beyond her years?
I’m troubled by the overwhelmingly negative discourse of this book on this subreddit and the PCT subreddit. I wanted to put my experience with this book out there for the next 26 year old woman who read this and felt the same way about it as I do.
Top Comment: I’m way past 26 years old, but I loved the book. It wasn’t just that she lost her most trusted guide, as you said, but that everything else fell apart at the same time. Her mother held everything together. Her stepfather deserted her, her brother and sister dealt with their own problems. As for the marriage, it seems to me she married too young and it’s likely the marriage would have fallen apart even if her mother had lived. She writes about all of this honestly. Her story is about how she saved herself, or as she puts it, becomes the person she (and her mother)knew she could be. And how she did it was pretty unconventional for a woman. I read a review of the movie that said we are used to stories about men finding themselves through adventure or hard physical feats, but not women. Our culture expects women to be perfect and excuses men for similar behavior. That probably explains some of the criticism. I found her description of how she found herself to be really inspiring. The New York Times had a good review of the book https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/28/books/wild-by-cheryl-strayed-a-walkabout-of-reinvention.html

Wild
Main Post:
Hey everyone! (If this isn't OK to post this, just delete my post, no hard feelings. 💚)
I'm currently using different Wild products as a "better than the common choices" options to be just a tad bit more sustainable and waste less. Not the perfect brand but better than several others. So far, so good.
The thing is I found out, through Instagram, that Wild is about to be acquired by Unilever! Ofc I've googlede this and confirmed through different articles.
It's still in process but I just wanted to inform for those, who might consider or use Wild - even though it's awesome with their pretty fine range of lesser wasteful options, maybe there are some like me, who doesn't feel like supporting one of the bigger polluters and greenwashers. Of course Wild is NOT commenting on this on SoMe and just being opaque about all of this.
I know nothing is perfect in this society and we can't completely avoid all the big brands - and I'm not judging anyone ofc would never do that 💚
I will use my Wild products up - I would recommend the same to others, don't waste unnecessary - and will have some time to hunt for better alternatives, hopefully from local brands.
what do you think about a situation like this?
Have a nice day/evening! 🌱
Top Comment: I saw someone said the fussy deodorant refills fit fairly well in the wild containers for those who want to stop buying wild, but not have to throw away the container

I looked at the website and it is wild. The thing runs in a single 9V battery which I'm sure just runs the little light on it.

What’s your thoughts on the Monster Hunter Wilds?
Main Post:
Just finished the base game story and felt that it was a solid edition to the series, even at only 30 fps ;). Curious what other people think of the game so far
Top Comment: I think it has regressed in a lot of ways and progressed in others. So, basically, two steps forwards, one step backwards. Sometimes leaps backwards even. I would go more in-depth but, i just know that nobody will listen and this comment will be downvoted into oblivion.
