I see we're just going full speed ahead with the whole attitude that Long Covid doesn't exist or doesn't matter.

Yeah, I grew up in a small American town and my cousins were more like my siblings than my actual sister because they were the same age as me. We all fled that small town, so the next generation are all growing up not surrounded by extended family.
I think there are good and bad sides to it. It was nice to grow up surrounded by family with a strong sense of belonging. But my cousins' children are growing up knowing people from far more diverse backgrounds than I ever had access to, which is good for them in a different way.
Overall, I think the effects are probably neutral
You're watching the wrong videos. A lot of his material manufacturing videos tend to have a lot more trial and error. In the more pure chemical extraction or synthesis videos, he's hyper precise about amounts, timing, temperatures, and safety. In others he's definitely in "making a funny video fucking around mode."
I know the blood flow seems obvious, but lesser known is the fact that phosphodiesterase inhibitors have direct impacts on the nervous system. There's a PDE4 inhibitor that is commonly used in Japan to treat post-stroke inflammation. (Also, caffeine is a weaker, broad spectrum PDE inhibitor.)
"Firstly, PDE5 inhibitors could enhance memory and learning by increasing long-term potentiation mediated by the glutamate NO-cGMP intracellular pathway, as cGMP-activated protein kinase is thought to mediate memory consolidation.
Secondly, as cGMP is a known vasodilator, the cognitive effects of PDE inhibition could be explained by enhanced cerebrovascular function owing to increased delivery of glucose and oxygen to the brain. Finally, improved erections might alleviate performance anxiety and boost self-confidence, with potential benefits to mood, cognition, and general health."
Life gives us a little cancer. One major "cause" of modern increases in cancer is the fact that we've become so good at preventing death from other things. Childhood vaccination, antibiotics, better hypertension screening and early intervention, all of these things that prevent death make it much more likely that you'll simply live long enough to get some kind of cancer.
I knew it was West Virginia.
This is not climate change, y'all. The Appalachians are an eroding mountain range. The town where my sister lives is in a constant battle to keep the roads from falling into the adjacent creek beds. It's just an absurdly difficult geography to build on.
