The Twentieth Amendment (Amendment XX) to the United States Constitution moved the beginning and ending of the terms of the president and vice president from March 4 to January 20, and of members of Congress from March 4 to January 3. It also has provisions that determine what is to be done when there is no president-elect. The Twentieth Amendment was ratified on January 23, 1933.[1]
For the record, in Washington D.C. it is currently 2016 Dec 22.

"Guanyin or Guan Yin (more at § Names in other Asian languages, below) is an East Asian bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. She is commonly known as the "Goddess of Mercy" in English. The Chinese name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, meaning "[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World". She is also referred to as Guanyin Bodhisattva (traditional Chinese: 觀世音菩薩; simplified Chinese: 观世音菩; pinyin: Guān shì Yīn Pú Sà).[1]"
dk57: Mahaynan Buddhism roughly corresponds with Chinese Buddhism.

what is your opinion of dave Coulier in the context of Alanis Morisette?
EsFeo
"David Alan "Dave" Coulier (born September 21, 1959)[1] is an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice actor, impressionist and television host. He became known in the late 1980s and the early 1990s for playing Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom Full House."
"In the early 1990s, Coulier was married for two years to Jayne Modean. They have one son, named Luc Coulier, born in 1990.[6] Having divorced, he started dating Alanis Morissette, but they broke up shortly before she recorded her album, Jagged Little Pill.[7] He is widely believed to be the subject of You Oughta Know. In 2005, Coulier began dating photographer and producer Melissa Bring.[8] They married on July 2, 2014, in Montana.[9]"

Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby? I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother" - Alanis 'Lord and Savior' Morissette
dk57: But of course it did.
Alanis' IQ is easily above 140.
This is clear to you, yes?
dk57
but isnt the 140 a little high because of canadian conversion rates?

If you had to choose.
Just one, though.

Ironic, because none of the situations describe irony

What everybody gets wrong about Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” - Salon.com ( http://tinyurl.com/hzfstbh )
→ td has joined
EsFeo
First, let’s get this out of the way: calling Alanis Morissette’s lyrics unironic is wrong. From “irony” in the Oxford English Dictionary:

3. A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what was or might be expected; an outcome cruelly, humorously, or strangely at odds with assumptions or expectations.

i dont know
i doubt it

"strangely at odds with assumptions or expectations" - OED

EsFeo - what did you think of Alanis's performance in the Motion Picture: Dogma?
EsFeo
"Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought “Well isn’t this nice…” And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think"
dk57: I think it's understandable that they chose her to play Omnicreator in the Abrahamic tradition.
dk57
lol
EsFeo
Her immensely high intelligence, combined with introspective nature and exploration of the deep insights about human nature and human cognition cause her to emit an aura of wisdom and superiority.
Which is effortlessly detected by members of our social species.
dk57
yes mongo?

@fierygt
i thought her playing god was ironic.  a little too ironic, dontcha think?  i mean it was like rain on your wedding day or a free ride when you already paid...

dk57: variation is a foundational assumption/observation in Darwinian evolution.
Variation and adaptive selection, right.
A heuristic for high intelligence is a broad theory of mind: an understanding of the differences among individuals of our species.
Alanis Morissette was born with a specific genetic composition and then chose a certain lifestyle.
This resulted in her being the wisest woman that any of us have ever known.
dk57
what is your opinion of ryan reynolds?
EsFeo
Our species is intimately concerned with others attempting for vainglorious superiority.
dk57
kicking her to the curb?
EsFeo
This is why we have attuned social-leveling detection programs in our brains.
Which we follow up with intense shaming -- to the point of violence, if necessary -- to convince ourselves and observers that we are not inferior.
This is all interesting, but must yield to the variation foundational in Darwinian evolution which shaped our society.
And, so, we are left with an inescapable conclusion: Alanis Morissette is the wisest woman we have ever met.
And this gives to her various powers and burdens.

One of the burdens it gave her was the difficulty in finding intimacy with men for her to love and for whom they love her.
She has explored this burden in her songs.
She describes her song writing process as one of the most cathartic attempts at healing she has experienced in her lifetime.
Her stating that 'she is the wisest woman we've ever met' is not a grab for superiority -- it is an act of vulnerability.
"I am the wisest woman you've ever met. I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected. I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen And you've never met anyone Who's as positive as I am sometimes.
