ad-skip assistant

Refers to a fellow human whom you assign to click out of commercials that often randomly appear during YouTube videos; this would be for periods of time when you are unable to operate the mouse/touch-pad yourself, such as when you have to take a dump but don't wanna pause the interesting video you were watching, but instead want to keep listening to the presentation while you're pooping. Having this other person skip over the ads for you ensures that you won't have to teeth-grindingly suffer through many minutes of boring ads while you sit on da crapper waiting for the program to resume. This can work best for largely-speech-based videos such as tech-subject lectures/documentaries, where you don't need to always watch the screen to enjoy the program.

I'm on SSI Disability, so I often spend much of my time at home; occasionally my also-unemployed buddy owes me a few bucks, and so I "hire" him to come over each day and be my ad-skip assistant for a 25¢ credit per ad; he usually "pays off" his debt that way in just a couple weeks.

ad subiectum

when one has a bias against, feeling for, or fear of something without proper logical analyzation of the subject, whether it is an object, creature, person, etc. when this happens, one may generalize the subject to how they feel. if one has a bias against something, they may consider it to be wrong or immoral without properly reviewing if it is wrong or immoral. if one has a fear of something, they may consider it to be frightening without properly reviewing if it is harmful. the words "ad subiectum" are latin for "to the subject". a form of ad subiectum that already exists is ad hominem, which translates to "to the man", which is when one has a bias against a person, considering them to be wrong in their argument because of their character or personal attributes, without properly reviewing if their argument is valid or invalid.

"they were directly afraid of the dark. not because of what was in it, but rather because what was in the dark made them directly afraid of the dark, which is ad subiectum."
