A stranger at an American grocery store said, "I love your jacket, man."
I froze.
In Japan, when a stranger speaks to you, something is wrong. You dropped your wallet. Your bag is open. There is a spider on you.
So I checked my jacket for stains.
I checked my zipper.
I turned around — maybe he meant someone behind me.
He was already gone.
He didn't want anything.
The compliment was the whole event.
It took me three weeks to try it myself. I practiced in my car. "Nice hat." "Nice hat." "Nice hat." Twenty minutes.
At Home Depot, I finally said it to an old man. My voice cracked like I was confessing love.
He said "Thanks, brother!" and kept walking.
Like it was nothing.
Like kindness is free here.
Since that day, I have complimented 14 strangers.
In 40 years in Japan, I never once told my father I liked his car.
Tomorrow I'm calling him.
Nice hat, America.

This is medicine.
🚨Unf*cking believable! UK courts grant a manslaughter plea deal to the Muslim migrant filth who brutally stabbed and murdered dog walker Wayne Broadhurst.
Watch the attack and tell me if you think it was manslaughter.
They will pick off every native one by one unless that ancient British savagery awakens and takes back the land.
“(…) the Bishnoi gang has continued to expand its presence in Canada, taking advantage of the country's lax immigration laws to grow its footprint on Canadian soil.
With Canada letting record-high numbers of Indian nationals into the country starting in the early 2020s, the Bishnoi group has tapped into Canada's massive pool of largely undocumented temporary workers and foreign students to build an army of enforcers. The gang even sent a letter to the RCMP boasting about how its international network of foot soldiers now totals more than 1,000. (Warring, for his part, came to Canada in 2013 on a temporary work permit as an electrician.)
The Bishnoi group's recruitment of foreign students and, on occasion, temporary workers is a constant fixture in various public agency and media reports about the gang's activities, describing how the it hones in on young and vulnerable Indian nationals to help it advance its criminal enterprise.
Those revelations come amid growing public discontent in Canada at the country's porous immigration system, which has welcomed a flood of foreign students and temporary workers to the country with minimal systems that authorities can use to track their whereabouts. That has caused the country's non-permanent resident population to soar, rising from 1.4 million to three million in the three years between 2021 and 2024 alone.
In a recent report, the Auditor General found that the federal immigration department had flagged 153,000 international students for being non-compliant with their visas between 2023 and 2024. Of those, the department only investigated 4,000 cases.”
The People's Party's solution: all foreign criminals must be deported, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program must be abolished, and there must be no more international students coming from India.
@JackPosobiec Anyone who imagines that Banff National Park is a colonial injustice has zero connection to reality.
So ... this is normal among libs.

Multiculturalism is a lie. It is White erasure clothed in the language of morality.
Every group is encouraged to think collectively, organize politically, and defend its own interests. Every group except Whites.
When Whites speak of themselves as a people, they are condemned for “racism,” modernity’s favorite heresy. When everyone else does the same, it is praised as “diversity.”
That is the fraud at the heart of multiculturalism: it legitimizes group consciousness for everyone except Whites, then hails their eradication as progress.
🚨BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has filed for a new trial in the George Floyd case.
Medical evidence — Floyd’s fentanyl levels and deadly health issues — was buried and ignored. This was never justice, it was a political hit job.
I agree. He’s innocent. FREE DEREK CHAUVIN NOW.
They won’t, because the left is still scared of the riots they unleashed.
Time to fix this disgrace.
He’s clearly shitting himself and about to go over the top and walk calmly towards a German machine gun so Britain can become an Islamic caliphate 100 years later led by the most oppressive, out of touch Labour government of all time with some fruity Marxist like Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.
What a waste.
If only they knew.
Mamdani's decision to leave out Little Italy on his map of enclaves within New York is beyond shameful.
Italian-Americans contribute so much, not just in New York City, but the entire nation.
He also left out Irish and Jewish enclaves.
We all know what's going on here...
17 year ago today I went into labour, on my 16th birthday. 3 days later I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I thought I was saved from the horror I was living, being raped daily by gangs of men for years. I thought that we would both be saved and we would get to a safe place and live happily ever after. Instead they took her from me because "i was exposed to a pedophile ring and it wasnt safe for a child", yet they left me there to carry on being raped.
17 years ive lived without her. Without knowing where she is or if she is even alive. Ive missed her first everything. I sometimes lay and imagine hiw she will look or what she is like. There will always be a part of me missing that went when they took her. There will always be grief for every second I live without her in my life, and no amount of justice will ever bring that back. No amount of accountability on failings will ever fix that.
Every year on my birthday I struggle knowing that 3 days later im missing her birthday and that its another year added onto my grief.
This year has been harder than normal with everything else going on and the trauma this has all dragged up for me.
Im normally the strong one. The one that picks things up for the others and helps them fight. Thats there listening to them and helping them through their suffering. But right now im barley even getting through each day and I feel like im letting everyone down.
Im trying to pick myself back up and face everything head on but its not as easy as I wish it was. Im 33 year old today and what happened to me as a child still haunts each and every day, each and every dream and every part of my life. Its left scars that will never heal and a burden thats hard to carry. Im sorry to everyone thats having to deal with seeing my statuses as I know they are alot different lately than they normally are but I really think its important that people understand the level of trauma left for the victims to deal with and the failings still coming along with that. Everyone sees me holding things together on TV and fighting all the time, but in reality I still have to deal with so much that sometimes the load can become unbearable.
Recently is one of them times.
These COVID nightmares will never be forgotten...
