Your video will resume in _ seconds

No, it won't --- YouTube is gonna play at least one more ad before letting you watch your show again.

Now dat Fletcher Reede cannot actively tell fibs anymore, perhaps he can at least partially slake his "forked tongue" cravings by taking a job cueing up da product/political ads for YouTube videos --- since he would merely be playing da ads themselves but letting someone else do da inserting of da "Your video will resume in _ seconds" messages, said second computer-stiff will actually be doing da lying during da programs.

Argumentum Ad Reum

A form of Miranda Bias where one treats the person making an argument as if they were the defendant on trial, demanding they prove their innocence or justify their right to speak. The fallacy lies in reversing the burden of proof—placing the person raising a concern in the position of having to defend themselves rather than the position they're criticizing. "What gives you the right to complain?" becomes a way of avoiding the complaint entirely. This fallacy is common in power-laden contexts where questioning authority is treated as itself an offense requiring justification.

Example: "He questioned the policy, and instead of addressing his points, they demanded he prove he wasn't just bitter about a personal grudge. Argumentum Ad Reum: treating the questioner as the defendant."

Because that's on my resume

Something you say sarcastically to your boss when they constantly ask you to do work that's not in your job description or some lazy co-workers'responsibility.

Boss: Hey Steve, can you go pick me up a birthday card for my wife?
Steve: Because that's on my resume.

Boss: Hi Mary, Steve screwed up our quarterly stats again. Do me a fave and fix it by tomorrow?
Mary: (sarcastic eye-roll) Yeah because that's on my resume! Glad Steve makes $10G's more than me.
