Eh, it's a reasonable post if you look past the headline.

The profanity likely comes about from frustration with facebook (particularly for playing the pandemic card) which I don't think is particularly unjustified or from a place of fanboy-ism.

Frustration is fine. But a professional with an audience of millions should proofread their work. Content that isn't allowed in HN comments shouldn't be in HN posts either.

I agree that the headline is in poor taste. (And I say that as a frequent DF reader.) Still a good article though.

That's how you know the author is cool and irreverent. An iconoclast!

lol

welcome to the world of grown ups. there is effin and jeffin everywhere

It's completely justified in context.

Nobody could be mislead into thinking that "Vitamin Water" is a healthy drink.

Same level of idiotic justification for the detriment of the consumer.

> It's completely justified in context.

Personal abuse like this is never justified. We should always challenge it when we see it.
