  • I wonder about the effects of having a low grade constant stressor like that.

    Heart disease like irregular heartbeat and stroke. Gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and IBS. Increased susceptibility to illness. Ability to learn/memorize/perceive are reduced. Not to mention the effects of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as drinking, smoking, drugs etc.

    Many disorders originate from stress, especially if the stress is severe and prolonged. The medical community needs to have a greater appreciation for the significant role that stress may play in various diseases and then treat the patient accordingly using both pharmacological (medications and/or nutraceuticals) and non-pharmacological (change in lifestyle, daily exercise, healthy nutrition, and stress reduction programs) therapeutic interventions.




  • I didn’t take much issue with Pizzacake until their comics became this weird circlejerk about people who didn’t like them. There was no joke just “Oooh I made another one! Look how much I don’t care about the haters! They’re sooo upset!” Each complete with a strawperson getting super triggered that they would continue making comics.

    I get it, you put time and effort into making a comic and it’s frustrating to see people who don’t like them. Let off steam with maybe just one comic. But after seeing multiple of the same exact thing I was really done seeing that kind of rage bait in my feed.
