"14. Be critical. Make sure to have an endless list of dislikes and voice them often, whether or not your opinion is solicited. For example, don’t hesitate to say, “That’s what you chose to wear this morning?” or “Why is your voice so shrill?” If someone is eating eggs, tell them you don’t like eggs. Your negativity can be applied to almost anything."

You can, for instance, object to perfectly valid criticisms. How dare this person question legibility!

This is a solved problem. Adjust your user agent.

I thought it was appropriate constructive feedback.

It's only really feedback if it goes to source. If it's on here it's just whinging.

Oh come on, we can recognise a joke here on HN. We don't have to be serious 100% of the time. It was funny!

It's the "print" (as in, formatted for a printer) version of the article, you can see it in the url (or probably not on mobile).

Here's the full link with all the page bloat included: https://www.alternet.org/here-are-14-habits-highly-miserable...

Well, I appreciated the presumably intentional humour in this comment even if no-one else did so don't consign yourself to abject misery over the reactions.

If it were any other website I would assume the humor was intentional, but I still have my doubts here.

Oh... Oh my God.

You sir, are on point. I read this comment after the one above and literally laughed out loud.

If you tap the icon with the horizontal lines on the left side of the address bar, it'll activate reader view.

Ugh, no. Don't mess with classic, lightly-formatted HTML.

    p {
      max-width: 48rem;
    }

Is that really so awful? I love ultralight formatting, but once you start pushing 60rem text width it becomes very difficult to read.

So shrink your browser window, tilt your phone to the side, or switch to reader mode

Alternately, you could make a website that has a good user experience by default for people using some of the most popular platforms instead of sticking with arbitrary standards from decades ago

Users these days, so spoiled...

If you use safari its a perfect setup for readability mode! Its a simple document and gets parsed perfectly.

Safari Reader Mode is a habit of unmiserable people.

Sorry you don't have a competent browser on your device that can render text in a readable fashion.

Reader view works in this page and is perfectly readable.

It's fine on my 4.6" phone.

15th miserable habit: Buy a phone that is too big for you.
