The Glory Days Effect is when you are remembering someone's physical appearance from the past, as being WAY more impressive than it ACTUALLY was, and your memory plays tricks on you.
E.g. You remember the person as being super jacked, fit, shredded, etc. But when you go back and look at old pictures/watch the old movies, they don't look NEARLY as impressive as they did in your memory.

"Damn Bro, remember how shredded Brad Pitt was in Fight Club?" (Then you look and realize he was dope fiend lean, and about 150 lbs).
"DAMN, my mind's playing tricks on me, that's gotta be The Glory Days Effect".
"I went to HS with this guy who never took steroids, was 7% Bodyfat, and benching 405 lbs" (Then you go back and see a training video, and realize he was doing half reps with 3 spotters).
"Naw Bro, he couldn't even do that with 3 plates by himself, you got hit by The Glory Days Effect".
"Omg Ryan Reynolds in Blade: Trinity was jacked AF!" (You look in the mirror and realize you are now WAY bigger, and leaner than he was back then).
"That's so crazy, I actually look better than this now... Definitely The Glory Days Effect, in full force".

A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.
The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.

A type of cognitive bias where a person will miss a lot of details the first time they experience something, and only catch those details and fully enjoy the experience when experiencing it for a second or even third time. This is due to the person being in a state of shock and strong emotion as things are constantly catching them by surprise. The name comes from the fact that this effect is most commonly and famously known to occur on intense rollercoasters.

Typically occurs among a bunch of friends, or a collective group primarily focused on playing video games.
