Bubba effect

The "Bubba effect" is a trend of behavior that was postulated on one of Glenn Beck's shows by United States Army (Ret.) Command Sgt. Major Tim Strong about groups of people heading for the hills when they feel threatened or times are uncertain.Worst-Case Scenario No. 3, Fox News, 22 December 2009YouTube mirror of the previous clip, complete with survivalist advertising.The 'Bubba Effect', more Faux
The name of the effect itself is an attempt to reclaim the stereotypical "redneck" name,bubba, Merriam-Webster Online implying that this manner of readiness is a virtue scorned by the effete.
Endorsing Bubba effect behavior is about as close as Beck has come to condoning outright violence against both government entities and the unpatriotic citizenry that just "don't get it", by casting the effect in a positive light."The Bubba Effect Blog"
==Better safe and sorry?==
Alex Jones (et. al.), seeing either scheming Fritz or biblical prophecy just about everywhere they look, have been very active in spreading the bizarre theory that the US Government is going to institute martial law and enslave the citizens of the United States because of some type of impending collapse — financial meltdown, NWO takeover, war with China, the rapture, or what have you, their timeline for this keeps changing, first Obama was going to bring about this collapse/NWO then Clinton, then Biden then Harris.
As a result, InfoWars readers are estimated to drop everything and head to the hills on a bi-weekly basis — basically, whenever the price of gold happens to fluctuate with some vigor.
As if lifted straight out of Red Dawn, this scenario only seems to include those in rural Real America™ who would be able to resist occupation through force of arms, based out of various fortified survival compounds — (largely defensive) weapon of gun in one hand, the word of God in the other. 
In practice, the Bubba effect amounts to a histrionic overreaction to threatening fake news and vague rumors, in turn springing from the scrapheap of survivalist ideas and various brain-dead conspiracy theories. Despite this, the Bubba Effect has proven surprisingly broad — reaching as far as to the Paulbots.The Bubba Effect, thread at "Liberty Forest" (RonPaulForums.com)

Buddy Roemer

Charles "Buddy" Roemer was Governor of Louisiana from 1988 to 1992. Originally a Democrat in the US House of Representatives, he switched parties in 1991, after he was elected governor.LA TimesThis is a common occurrence in LA politics He was unpopular enough as governor to be defeated by both the notoriously corrupt and KKK wizard David Duke in the primaries, leading to the infamous Louisiana's famous 1991 "Lizard versus Wizard" Governor race, Warren D. Smith, RangeVoting
==Why do we care?==
Roemer ran for president in 2012 as a Republican. As a governor, he upheld Roe v. Wade in the case of incest, and felt that teachers weren't paid enough. He also legalized gambling. The key issue of his 2012 campaign was campaign finance reform, and he limited himself to contributions of $100 or less.Sunshine state news He was largely ignored by the media and was not invited to any debates. He dropped out shortly before the primaries began.
==Did he have a chance?==
No. In addition to the reasons above, he was obscure outside of Louisiana and had shot himself in the foot financing wise. His desire to cut tax loopholes and reinstate Glass-Steagall likely didn't help him with the party base either. He quit the GOP and decided to run as an independent, as well as Americans Elect and on the Reform Party ticket.Politico:Roemer running as independent His embracing of OWS didn't help him with the right either.The American Conservative:Buddy Roemer: Occupy Wall Streeters = Good Americans

Bulletproof diet

The bulletproof diet is a modified version of the "Paleo" diet created by web-marketer and blogger Dave Asprey. Think about a "eat just like our caricatured idea of how malnourished cavemen ate" along with a "don't count calories" philosophy with suggested eating portions thrown in because, why the hell not?
==Cherrypicking==
Often the journals used by Asprey to justify his claims are heavily misinterpreted (for example, unequivocally recommending those following the Bulletproof diet eat white rice over brown rice because, beriberi be damned, according to one study white rice is a whole ~2% better at nutrient absorption). In some cases, the recommendations are outright rubbish, e.g. opposition to the consumption of sucralose and the recommendation of raw milk consumption.
Asprey's The Bulletproof Diet book (published in 2014) was negatively reviewed by medical experts:
==Stimulant Use==
The diet's unique selling point is that it promotes massive consumption of stimulants, specifically caffeine and US Schedule IV prescription drug . Q&A: Why I Use Modafinil (Provigil) by Dave Asprey (archived from May 27, 2020). The Bulletproof Exec website recommends that breakfast be replaced by a large amount of 'Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee', a product sold by Asprey, mixed with a tablespoon of butter and a spoonful of 'Bulletproof Upgraded MCT Oil', a coconut oil derivative also exclusively sold by Asprey's company which he claims will deliver 'fast energy' to buyers.
The diet's website goes on to claim to its followers that the majority of people are "Suffering from a Modafinil Deficiency".Why You Are Suffering from a Modafinil Deficiency This is complete and udder utter bullshit since Modanifil is a synthetic drug. Asprey claims to having been on a 300mg daily dose of the stimulant for the past 9 years (together with use of synthetic hormones — 'testosterone replacement therapy.')Are you sure it's testosterone you've been taking Dave ?
Hucksters all over the world make a lot of money selling exclusive products that they absolutely guarantee are essential. It's likely he makes a killing on selling caffeine hyper-doses and oil that serves no purpose except lining his pockets with your cash.

Bulverism

Bulverism is the logical fallacy of assuming without discussion that a person is wrong and/or ill-informed, then distracting their attention from this (which is the only real issue) by explaining how they became so silly, usually associating it to a psychological condition. The fallacy deals with secondary questions about ideas rather than the primary one, thus avoiding the basic question or evading the issues raised by trains of reasoning. It is essentially dodging your opponent's argument by treating them like a psychiatry patient who needs your evaluation to explain why they came up with such a ridiculous argument in the first place.
The fallacy was coined by C.S. Lewis in his essay, First and Second things.
==Strict usage==
The form of the Bulverism fallacy can be expressed as follows:
:You claim that A is true.
:Because of B, you personally desire that A should be true.
:Therefore, A is false.
or
:You claim that A is false.
:Because of B, you personally desire that A should be false.
:Therefore, A is true.
Note that B doesn’t even have to be true at all. In fact, it usually isn’t.
==Examples==
*Used by atheists: "Religion is just a silly idea made up by people to cope with the discomfort of living in a purposeless, Godless universe."
*Used by those of a religious bent: "Atheists only deny the existence of God because they're angry at him."http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2011/01/when-atheists-are-angry-at-god
*Used by those on the fringes of the political spectrum: "Liberals only support a Nanny State because they're crazy and neurotic," or "Conservatives only support capitalism because they're psychopaths and hate the poor."

Bunyip

A bunyip is a mythical animal from down under that dwells in rivers and swamps and generally either resembles a large dog or has an elongated neck.The Story of the Bunyip - National Library of Australia Individual bunyips seem to have a multitude of other features, including scales, feathers, tails, flippers, and tusks.Bunyips - Cryptozoology.com Despite their Aboriginal roots, no drawings of bunyips exist in Aboriginal art. As nothing more than a freakish skull or two has ever been found, most scientists, and most Australians, doubt the bunyip's existence. Some scientists suggest that the bunyip may be a part of the Aboriginal cultural memory from either discovery of prehistoric bones or contact with the animal itself, as the bunyip shares a resemblance to the extinct .Bunyips - Skepdic's Dictionary Creationists have somehow managed to use the bunyip as possible proof of dinosaurs still being alive... no, seriously.Bunyips and dinosaurs - Answers in Genesis
==Origins==
Throughout the years since the colonization of Australia by Europeans various non-aboriginal people have tried to uncover the origins of the bunyip myth, with one notable case in 1933 being a proposition that the bunyip myth was at least partially inspired in derivation by seals, noting that various seals have been found as far inland as the Overland Corner over the years, specifically noting how the "smooth fur, prominent 'apricot' eyes, and and the bellowing cry are characteristics of the seal," most notably the and the .BUNYIP SIGHTINGS - IN SEARCH OF AN ORIGIN
Others hold the bunyip to be a of the extinct Australian megafauna, such as the aforementioned Diprotodon. It's noteworthy that when confronted with the remains of some of the now extinct Australian marsupials, Aborigines would often identify them as the bunyip.
A far less spectacular but very interesting possibility is that Bunyips are derived from encounters with cassowaries.Brandt, Karl (June 2017). "Bunyip Hunters". Australian Birdlife. 6 (2): 10. It is worth noting that most etymologists see a connection with ,Davey, Gwenda; Seal, Graham, eds. (1993). The Oxford Companion to Australian Folklore. Oxford University Press. pp. 55–56. ISBN 0-19-553057-8. the divine ancestor of the people of the eagle moiety of the Kulin nation, so an origin as a "dark aspect" of this deity cannot be ruled out.

Burning the evidence

Burning the evidence is a common activity among criminals, some governments and government agencies, some wiki encyclopedia administrators, and other people that need to hide something. It covers any attempt to destroy evidence — "burning" is just a figure of speech. In the field of law, destruction of evidence by any party to a case is considered a serious offense, known technically as spoliation, an expression of consciousness of guilt.Spoliation Remedies by Kristen M. Johnson (05.01.2014) Schwartz Semerdjian Ballard & Cauley, LLP.
The burning of evidence has a well-known history. It is perhaps at its most notorious when some entity (such as a government) attempts to remove from the historical record the memory of some event that actually happened. This goes back at least to the ancient Roman concept of — all references to a person ever having existed are removed from the record. (The fact that cases of this are well-documented shows how ineffective the process can be.)
A well-known instance of governmental burning of evidence was the behavior of the Stalin regime in the Soviet Union, which attempted to remove a number of people from the historical record, including hilarious creepy doctoring of photographs.
This activity has a famous reference in literature. George Orwell's famous work Nineteen Eighty-Four describes a totally despotic and totalitarian government that controls the population by, among other things, controlling the language and controlling all information. People and events are routinely expunged from the historical record. Such people become, in Orwell's "newspeak" language, "unpersons." In the government agencies where information is destroyed, the receptacles into which documents are placed for expunging are called "memory holes," a term which has become synonymous with the destruction of information.
On another level, the Nazis literally tried to burn the evidence of their concentration camps to hide them from the approaching Allied forces during the last days of World War II. The sheer size and scale of the Holocaust meant that their efforts were mostly in vain, however, and plenty of incontrovertible proof remains that they existed and were responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Predictably enough, some conspiracy theorists still don't think it happened.

Bushido

Bushidō (武士道), or "Way of the Samurai," was the warrior code of samurai in feudal Japan. In modern times, the same warrior code's values would be synthesised with traits from the West to form Japan's own unique work ethic of modern times. One running tradition of bushidō was the act of seppuku or ritual suicide in the face of failure or disgrace to preserve one's honour.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/sugihara/readings/bushido.html
Bushidō had seven virtues:http://arvigarus.bravehost.com/bushido_002.htm
*Gi: Righteousness
*Yūki: Courage
*Jin: Benevolence
*Rei: Respect
*Makoto: Honesty
*Meiyo: Honour
*Chūgi: Loyalty
A sizable number of historians hold that most of what is now understood as bushidō was largely invented in the late 19th and early 20th century, after the Meiji Restoration and especially during the pre-World War II E.g., Storry, R. (1982) A History of Modern Japan. Penguin Books. This re-imagined version of bushidō initially was a way to reconcile Japanese culture with the Western cultures that the Japanese leaders hoped to emulate in their efforts to modernize, intentionally conflating bushidō with chivalry.https://www.tofugu.com/japan/bushido/ However, the concept was soon subsumed and figured heavily in the propaganda of the militarist Japanese government in in the run-up to World War II, inspiring many Japanese pilots to conduct kamikaze suicide attacks against enemy vessels so as to die gloriously for their country preferring death to surrender, seen as dishonourable, and also influencing the outcome of the war by inspiring the Japanese leadership to refuse any surrender or compromise, thus prompting the United States to drop atomic bombs on Japan.

Business clothes

Business clothes are a manner of attire that society deems appropriate for conducting important or solemn occasions. In Western society, for men it consists of a business suit, and for women it consists of a business suit or a dress of appropriate length.
Historically, these business clothes would be worn to a job interview, a wedding, a funeral or to give a formal presentation such as a thesis defense or a court trial.
==Purpose==
Business clothes are used to give the users the opportunity to show respect for the importance of the occasion. It is a social convention that allows users to conform to social expectations, and those that fail to follow the dress code specified by an occasion are deemed to be disrespectful or a social rebel. Because business clothing generally tends to hide the physical attractiveness or sexuality of the user, business clothes serve to draw attention to the substance of the event rather than to the sexual attraction of the participants in the event.
==Challenges==
Some youthful feminists are challenging the use of business clothes because they claim that women should have the right to inject physical beauty and sexual attraction into formal occasions. For example, Cornell University student Lititia Chai organized a group of 22 students to attend her honors thesis presentation, where they all stripped to their underwear during the presentation.
The Comedy Central television show "The Opposition with Jordan Klepper" wanted to illustrate how Donald Trump could have a more telegenic attorney spokesman (instead of Rudy Giuliani) by hiring an actor to be interviewed without wearing any shirt.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKCTK0cB6YU (May 10, 2018)https://ourhotlawyer.com/

Buteyko method

The Buteyko method is a form of medical woo that purports to treat asthma and other conditions.
Practitioners claim that Buteyko is a clinically proven drug-free technique to relieve breathing problems.The Buteyko method. Buteyko. Apart from asthma, supporters claim efficacy against a range of other conditions, including sleep apnoea, bronchitis, emphysema, and bed-wetting. Oh yeah, it will also boost sports performance.
The method was developed in Russia in the 1950s by physiologist Konstantin Buteyko and quickly gained status as an approved treatment for bronchial asthma. 
There is little scientific support for the Buteyko method, with few high-quality clinical trials undertaken.
__TOC__
==Method==
The method posits that the cause of asthma and many other conditions is hyperventilation; therefore if the depth of breath is reduced, it can potentially treat those diseases. They achieve this by sheer willpower and relaxing breathing muscles."Buteyko Method: the experience of the implementation in the medical practice", (in Russ.), Odessa, TITUL, 1991
==Evaluation==
If the theory is true, there should be many biological signs of hyperventilation in those suffering from asthma and other diseases the Buteyko method claims to treat. However, there are no such signs.Buteyko Breathing Technique – Nothing to Hyperventilate About, Joseph Albietz, Science Based Medicine, December 25, 2009
A study published in Thorax found that the "Buteyko breathing technique can improve symptoms and reduce bronchodilator use but does not appear to change bronchial responsiveness or lung function in patients with asthma". However it was a very small study with only 78 people completing and noted problems with coming up with a suitable control: those in the Buteyko group were "more likely to believe they were receiving active treatment", suggesting the placebo effect may have played a role.Effect of two breathing exercises (Buteyko and pranayama) in asthma: a randomized controlled trial, S Cooper, J Oborne, S Newton, V Harrison, J Thompson Coon, S Lewis, A Tattersfield, Thorax 2003;58:674-679. This follows the pattern of other tests (almost always on small groups) where users often report an improvement, but there is no change in measurements of pulmonary function or other objective outcomes.
A review of previous studies was published in Elsevier's Complementary Therapies in Medicine in 2005, but was also inconclusive, finding a great deal of variation in how the method is applied (often including exercise, nutrition advice, meditation, and other relaxation techniques alongside the focus on breathing) and no evidence for any mechanism by which it allegedly works. Although all the studies it examined reported improvement in some measures, there was a lack of consistency, and the authors called for further studies to evaluate the method.The Buteyko breathing technique for asthma: A review, A.Bruton, G.T.Lewith, Complementary Therapies in Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2005, Pages 41-46, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctim.2005.01.003
