The (613) is the area code. That is specifically allocated for use in the Ottawa area. There are precise databases/maps. Of course, an area code can have very little with where one lives these days. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have an area code for the Midwest because that is where I was when I got my cellular phone.

The 745 is the ‘exchange’. It was a way for an area code to be broken down into smaller groups. Sometimes that would be regions of a town/county/etc. or it could be for a large business, a University, government, etc.

One final note on the area code… there are a finite number of phone numbers that can be created within one area code. Sometimes a region’s population/businesses will grow and create a shortage of phone numbers. When this happens the area covered by one area code will be restructured so that on area keeps the code and the rest of the area gets a new code.

That’s why they’re announcing it. They want to bring out their voters to make sure he gets replaced with another asshole.

At least he’s already a useless Trumper…

So, classic GOP, as usual…

I quoted my words so that you could see that I didn’t say anything absolute nor defeatist…

No. The choice is not binary. We can rationally acknowledge that there is an objective risk and then work to address that risk.

You say that like you expect

You’re the only one being an absolutist. I called out that the article makes the foregone conclusion that there will be another president. It’s not a foregone that won’t. It’s also not a forgone conclusion that we will.

If we want to face a risk, we must first admit that there is a risk.

Nobody should be stating anything online that can be used against them in the aftermath. It doesn’t even matter if they do absolutely nothing… anything said can and will be used against you.

There is a huge difference between defeatism and stating an objectively real risk.

Just like when Gore lost? Let’s get real, the system is fully rigged, now. The orange asshole isn’t leaving that office until his body is quite dead and cold.

You say that like you expect Trump is going to leave and that there will be a next (duly elected) President…

Yeah… it only improves life quality… nobody wants that…

He never had super-human ability. He’s always just been a bully and everyone is fucking tired of him.

I wouldn’t call you ignorant for not knowing information from some arcane document over x years old from a European country.

Why not? I almost certainly would be ignorant about it. Ignorant just means I don’t know something… there’s all kinds of things that I don’t know.

The U.S. 1st amendment actually does have some implications for your speech even though you’re in Europe and (presumably) not a U.S. citizen.

Your questions aren’t horrible and the do have actual answers. However, your tone suggest that you don’t actually give a fuck so it’s not worth wasting time answering them. Let me know if you were actually being genuine…

I really don’t care

Are you sure? You’d fit right in with a lot of proudly ignorant Americans… “Duh… I don’t know which I’ll proudly declare a badge of honor and commit to remaining stupid.”

Fair - added a note to my comment. Thank you.

You switched gears in the middle of your statement. Either photography from the public spaces is legal or it isn’t. The only reason I don’t consider these take-downs a first-amendment violation is because Google is providing the mechanism to do it. They legally have every right to take the picture of your house and tell you to go pound sand if you don’t like it.
