ok.

so, i was a little worried about that, but it's....it's some progress. and, the fact that there was some kind of response indicates that any further decisions to avoid the process are intentional.

she has been contacted. she knows what's going on. 

i also got a response from the windsor police regarding the divisional court case, namely a book of authorities that strikes me as....

i'm wondering if i should ask the court to provide the police with a court-ordered attorney. really. the information i've been getting from them has been consistently ridiculous. i'm going to have to take a very close look through this case, but my initial perusal through it suggests that it has absolutely nothing to do with the case, or with their factum.

did they file something else and forget to tell me? i think i'll need to call there in the morning, too.

so, we're look at three calls in the morning....

if i can get enough evidence, though, i will take this to the justice and request she be charged with filing a false report.

i just...i don't even know if one or the other is true. i don't know anything about this person at all. i don't know what fits her psychological profile.

maybe she has legitimate issues with schizophrenia. maybe she's suffering from trauma as a result of some other set of events. so, maybe she wasn't lying; maybe she really is just nuts.

but, as more information comes out, that will become more clear. and, if i can have her charged, i will do what i can to get that done.

there's a difference between maliciously lying and being batshit delusionally insane. that's why i haven't been pushing the point.

what she told the cops was completely ridiculous, but i can't prove she actually lied. yet.

and, i don't know how much of it was prompted by a cop out to get me...

so, what the package from the hrto was was the same thing that was sent to me in december, just resent because they did get a response from the property owner after all, via email.

why didn't they just email her in the first place? why did they need a physical address? because the laws are out of date.

no, really. i gave them a valid means of contacting her (email) and they insisted i give them an address, which i couldn't find. the court then emailed her, and she responded via email with an address. they could have just emailed her in the first place, but something that makes that much sense isn't consistent with the law.

and, this is ignoring the absurdity of being arrested for stalking somebody that you don't know the address of.

that means my request for deferral is....i need to call them in the morning. they might want me to serve her, now that i have an address, before they carry through with it.

something of some interest to me, though, is that she admits in the email that i don't know her address - and requests it not be provided to me. in the police report, she claimed she feared that i would come to her house. is that enough to prove she lied on the report?

if i can prove that ryan myon is a real person, that is enough to prove she lied on the report.

there is a new deadline: mar 24th. she needs to get a response to the tribunal by that date, now.

i should write the hrto an email updating the situation.

ok.

all of the centres in the east are closed, and every number i've called in vancouver wants me to leave a message.

i'll have to try tomorrow.

but i'm almost certain that it's in the mail, and that's why there's no way to schedule. i just want somebody to tell me that, though,

i got a very thick package from the human rights commission in the mail, which is the next thing i'll need to check. i'm going to guess that it's either the respondent replying a little late or a rejection of my request for deferral. let's see...

NOTE: If this is a renewal application, you may not have to attend an interview. In that case, there will be a notice that you were Approved and the card will already be on its way!

let's hope that's the right answer.

i'm going to want to confirm that, somehow.

i would have liked to get a new picture, though :\.

argh.

so, i have been approved and i need to schedule an interview within 30 days.

i called the detroit nexus office and they told me i do that online. but, there's no way to do it online that i can see, and the website is telling me that i have no open applications - that the process is done.

detroit closes at 7:30. i'm going to see if i can find an office that's open a little later. voip over gmail is free long distance.

When the applicant receives a letter in their TTP account advising them of their conditional approval, he/she will have 30 days to schedule an interview at an enrollment center of their choice to finalize enrollment.

i like step-by-step instructions to minimize user error.

but, it's clear enough...

ok.

it's vague. but, i'm pretty sure that i need to go in to get a more recent picture taken. i may have to answer some questions, but i think i'm pre-approved.

they're telling me i'm approved until jan, 2025, anyways.

the cbp website uses pop-ups, in 2020.

so, chrome was blocking the popup - by default. i'm logged in as a guest, nothing's customized. it's just out of the box.

firefox let me decide to "allow pop-ups from this site".

but, that was why it didn't work....

i think that the cbp's website is not working on this chromebook, so i can't access the letter. it would be nice if they'd just email it....

let's try firefox.

that was a lot of sleep. that's ok, sometimes, and this was the circumstance where it is.

i got my nexus card approved until 2025. i'm just not sure if i need to get my card replaced or go to an enrollment centre or ...?

i did not get a chance to talk to anybody at villain's last night, so i'm still holding off on the reviews for a bit.

there are some legalish things that i need to do today before i get back to work. there will be some updates.

i otherwise believe that i am likely in for the next 10+ days.

you know why god sent the coronavirus, don't you?

the gays.

expect mandatory prayer services and public flagellations for sinners.

viruses mutate. so, i don't want to be too smug about this. but, the global response to this appears to be a dramatic overreaction, enough that it is making me wonder what's really going on.

i suppose there's some possibility that they're hiding the death toll.

but, what i'm actually concerned about is the possibility that western governments are going to use it as the most recent excuse to ram through another round of restrictions on our civil liberties. and, as i keep an eye on this in the upcoming days and weeks, it's going to be in keeping a critical eye on what they're doing, to try to point out unnecessary attacks on our rights.

the virus, itself, does not appear to be much of a serious threat and i will not be drawn into alarmist rhetoric about it.

my honest opinion about that debate is that there were too many people on stage, and it prevented everybody from getting their point across. i think that's part of the reason that they interrupted each other and talked over each other - there just wasn't enough time to split up for that many people.

bloomberg & steyer both needed a platform to get a message across, and neither of them had time to do it. warren & klobuchar both needed to be able to convince voters they're not done and are serious competitors, and they didn't have time to do it. buttigieg needed to present himself as a superior alternative to biden, and didn't have time to do it. biden needed to convince people he's still worth voting for, and didn't have time to do it. and, sanders needed to defend himself against the attacks, and didn't have time to do it.

a couple of them - sanders, klobuchar - seemed to realize the importance of appearing animated. sanders was his old kranky self for the first time in a while, which was nice to see, and might help a bit.

but, i think that if you were walking into this without a clear idea of who you were voting for, nobody really had the opportunity to make a convincing case, and it probably didn't really help much.

winner: advertisers, who bizarrely got the last word in

losers: candidates, who were mostly denied the ability to get a word in at all

ok, i'm alright.

let's watch this debate....

+ mmmm. nachos.

it was an enjoyable show.

but i'm borderline hypothermic...

yeah.

i just want to make it abundantly clear that i think that carrying arms is a terrible idea - from an indigenous perspective.

a couple of guns might extend the length of the blockade, but at zero net benefit and at great cost to the public image of the band. these people need to remember that their success is greatly dependent on public opinion, whether they like it or not.

i understand the desperation.

but there are ways to evade the cops, and impose a financial cost. trying to get into a shooting match is just stupid.
