Pazsitzky Effect 

The realization that with little to no effort you can substantially improve the comfort and quality of your every day life (or conversely you've been making your life unnecessarily difficult and annoying). Many times involving a paradigm shift from doing things how you were raised to do them.
I had a pretty big Pazsitzky Effect today. Girlfriend asked me why I always drag my charger around the house instead of just putting one in every room where I use them. No idea why I hadn't just bought a bag of them years ago, but it's nice not having to pack up every time I change rooms!

Pazsitzky Effect 

The moment of realization and reorientation of previously held dogmatic frameworks into an updated model which is more adequate then the now previous one.

This happens to us all when after framing a particular environment or action adequately the frame no longer needs continuous updating. This is usually expressed as "that's how I've always done it" sort of mentality or a kind of auto-drive. This mode is not focused on updating the original adequate framework and therefore becomes background or second nature.

Integrally speaking, this is a mode which does not focus on the environment or action in the external but tends to focus on the internal felt experience while at the same time inhibiting the individual from reframing the previous into greater context. This can be avoided by sharing your framework with others, attempting to take a different approach, or seeking to improve the existing modes. All of these will help to expand the frame towards greater contextual inclusion and culminate in the experience of the Pazsitzky Effect.
Routinely taking a short trail hike, finishing, and hoping it was longer or more of an exercise. When you express that felt desire to a friend, seek alternate options, or seek to re-strategize for the desired outcome you start to orient from a different perspective and help encourage the growth and re-orientation of the initial frame. The resulting Ah-ha moment of re-orientation is the Pazsitzky Effect.

Positive Effects:

From this you may realize you can just do the same short trail hike as many times as you'd like to provide the desired outcome.

Negative Effects:
Your sharing of initial perspective may result in your friend or others being awestruck, dumbfounded, and may even result in them calling you names.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
