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."
- jamiegreen 8y agoOh come on, we can recognise a joke here on HN. We don't have to be serious 100% of the time. It was funny!

- tomc1985 8y agoSo shrink your browser window, tilt your phone to the side, or switch to reader mode
- bartread 8y agoWell, 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.
- Bakary 8y agoIf it were any other website I would assume the humor was intentional, but I still have my doubts here.
- ModernMech 8y ago> 5. Attribute bad intentions. ;)
