I'm pretty sure that hacker culture doesn't object to the word "fuck"

@mjg59 I only fucking object to it when it would fuck up the people I'm talking with.

@mjg59 counterpoint: hacker culture is large and, most importantly, international, and casual profanity does indeed offend large segments of our population, they're just too polite to say anything. (I'm sure there was unseen context to your comment, as there is to mine.)

@mjg59 both HN and lobsters have bowdlerized the title. In the latter case there's no note of mods changing it so the submitter omitted it. In the HN there used to be a site tracking title changes but it's not longer extant.

@gerikson @mjg59

No, I removed "fuck" from the lobste.rs entry. That account is just reposting it.
