Let yourself be cold for a bit, too. If you immediately try to fight off the cold, you're not letting your body acclimate. There's only so many layers you can throw on, but if you allow your body to adjust, there's less layers required.

IIRC, there were members of his administration who resigned due to how slowly he was genociding the Gazans.

Ah, I see your confusion. Advocating for the dismissal of her opinion on grounds of her profession is not a slight on her character. I'm sure she's a very nice girl and a talented musician.

You see, ad hominem is an attack on someone's character to distract from the lack of merit in one's argument. I never slighted her as a person, ergo no ad hominem.

Now if I said she was stupid or ugly or talentless, therefore no one should listen to her, that would constitute an attack on her.

I hope this clears things up.

Being informed of the lack of context was actually quite refreshing.

Makes me think of the journal you find in the lighthouse during the main quest of the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion.

Nah, I understand my place in the world and nobody suits me fine, I was just trying to be cordial. I must say, you are quite proficient in ad hominem. I even forget the original discussion, was it taxes? In any case, given your predilection for underming lack of discussion with petty insults, might I suggest you take a look at a website called Reddit? I think you'd fit in there.

That's all well and good, still a nobody though. Cheers.

It just seems like a bit much to be believable to me.

It makes me think of a story that they wanted to tell, but they realized it was maybe kind of boring, so they added fun details for the sake of it.

I'm sure elements of it are true, like I'd be willing to bet the whole thing about the damage going from a d4 to d6 was just a conversation.

It's a cute story for sure, but for me, it's a touch beyond the suspension of disbelief.

But hey, if I'm wrong, I wish them many happy returns.

That's a valid point. I got a buddy with a political science degree, so technically learned in this subject, and that guy is fuckin clueless.

From one nobody to another, cheers to the weightless.

Yes, that's all I took away from what you said.

Which is also ridiculous, we should listen to those who know more.
