#deniedboarding — Public Fediverse posts

#life #wcphilosophy #braindump #lawyers #boringstory

coincidentally, i couldn't think of better tags for this post. basically the same category as the previous announcement! 🤣

ever since my U$1k issue with #evilgoogle, when they stole it from to force me using #thefuckingpixel3, i started to think about going to court for the first time in my life, after some 38 years in.

but i didn't. because, as it turns out, i do not live in america, so i have virtually zero rights. and that makes everything around going to court for #thefuckingpixel3 (search the web for cregox pixel3 google should bring you an updated link) nearly impossible.

last november i got denied to enter the usa, to visit my family, for the last time. spent well over U$3k (or nearly 30% of my yearly income) trying for over 7 times. on november, #deniedboarding for the second time! it almost feels like the agents who did it, did it with pleasure. almost.

anyway, i told this story too many times already. i will continue to try and make it good, but today i came here to write about one of my #awesomeideas! whenever i share those with people, they become speechless in awe! 🤣

yesterday i spoke with a local lawyer in person. he had a non smoking sign. at some point, he asked me if he could smoke... afterwards, he removed the small sign from the wall with his nails!! or at least started to try. 😳

more importantly, i talked extensively with him about the whole #deniedboarding story. and he offered me help for €60 (apparently a big discount on the lawyers world), send the airline company a letter so they will pay me back the tickets they keep promising they will but never do. he thinks it's 50/50 chance they will comply and, if they don't, he have no idea how much it will cost us to follow through, but probably not much except a lot of work.

he also thinks going for more money in portugal will never bring good results, as it will cost more than the money we can take.

i disagree, but i don't know shit practice about it. i do know that my logic works better in theory, and that the law should be the best academia science we have around logic. skepticism surely wins, but it does not constitute science or academia on its own. in fact, academia goes very far from logic, in general. especially medicine.

in any case, i need to wait more and see if they do now, on my last direct attempt to a friendly settlement with them. i promised i won't get in touch again outside the court. and i asked for nearly 50% money, 300eur. they promised to pay something.

now the idea...

i offer to pay the lawyer 102 EUR (how much it would cost me to start the process myself). if we win, that's it. process over.

if they don't pay, we go to court and he doesn't charge me for anything except court costs. then, if we win, he just pay me back the 102 and keep everything else. if we lose, we lose.

i want to make this right. but i have no idea if i can follow through because of how much #energeia this will take. i only know that i can't pay the whole bill upfront with my income today. and for the rest of energy needed, well, let's just say i might get away from europe (hopefully to an island like palau or new zealand) in the next 10 years. although i think the chances of that happening rose from 50/50 ever since i discovered #tamera back in 2019. probably less than 30% chances, in fact. and i only keep it bigger than 5% thanks to the #peaceindex + my visit to nz back in 2011 or so.

there. #selfnote made. helps to think better. i might try to get back to sleep now. 😴
