I find it weird how some people think everyone needs to fit into nice little neat boxes. And how thinking certain ways about even mundane stuff ends up being political/partisan.

Maybe if you meditated on it, you would figure it out?

One thing I don't do is research. That is something full time scholars do. Googling is not research.

What I do online is read up on a topic, with the full realization the best I can do is come up with a tentative take.

People do tend to have preconceptions about people and things they know next to nothing about. I am surprised you find that weird. Most are attached to fixed views and have a low tolerance for ambiguity.

I guess I don’t really find it weird, more amusing/annoying. I hate political tribalism.

I practiced and studied various forms of Buddhism on and off for 50 + years. I have some inkling of whassup, but there is much more to learn. I meet people who read a book or took a comparative religion course and think they know it all and try to explain it to me.

One thing that is interesting is there is no single Buddhist term that means meditation. There are mental exercises to cultivate the mind, to develop good habits and attitudes, get rid of harmful attitudes and habits, and improve awareness and concentration; all with the aim of awakening spiritual insight.

This sounds like the complete antithesis of The Cesspool/HQ2.

Media reporting Walmarts closing in Portland, and Walmart commenting on the same, is fake news then. So be it.

Maybe people in Portland just figured out Walmart sucks? More likely it's gotten so expensive to live in Portland that the Walmart demographic all moved away, and Walmart's land became more valuable, so it was a no brainer to close the doors and sell.

Contrast to Lincoln Illinois, where the WalMart was so successful, and had the opening to move into groceries but didn't have the footprint for it. So they decided to build a new WalMart twice as big, next door to the original one. And the old WalMart just sits there empty because the land is basically worthless (or at least, worth less than the demolition costs would be)

Walgreens closing left and right in California. You can't run a business when all of your merchandise walks out the door.
Newsome says the state won't do business with Walgreens.

They won't be missed. Walgreens has become Dollar General with a Pharmacy in the back corner.

I'm sure you are correct. And that de Nile is not just a river in Egypt.

I mean, you make it sound like "Walmart closes" is a bad thing!

I am thinking its closing is bad for those who worked there and those who inflation has impacted the most. Obviously, not those who form the Democratic technocratic base these days. Where is JFK to punch the college professors who are the Dem base in the gut and call them pussies?

Like in my Facebook feed. I love to argue, and listen to opposing views. Unfortunately most of the “debate” I get are Let’s Go Brandon memes and the sort.

Pot, meet kettle.

I could respond with your usual dismissive "LOL" and it would be apropos in this instance.
