In this case, then, it would be pro hoc, since the crankiness comes after the not eating.
I though it was post hoc, ergo propter hoc? After the fact, therefore because of the fact?
Yeah, that’s what I mean.
The person I was responding to was comparing it to cum hoc which means that the two events being considered simultaneously, which I don’t think is correct.
Wait? Cum has Latin roots? How the fuck is this how I find that out? Hahaha, cheers for the elaboration. IT CHANGES EVERYTHINGS
