I couldn't be bothered to assess the quality of the content when the presentation is so childish -- performative aggression, cussing like a 12-year-old boy who thinks it makes him sound cool, etc., it's all totally unnecessary and actively detracts from communicating whatever possibly useful information he might have had to share.

  for a 12 year old boy? Recall that in Game of Thrones the young Arya (she/her) grabs a light fencing stabbing weapon with two hands and flails it about like a 12 year boy playing with a pretend broadsword. Syrio, her teacher, proceeds to correct her and teaching the beginning fundamentals of swordplay. The GP has used a simile cussing like a 12 year boy and could perhaps instead used braying like a donkey, bellowing like a sea lion, cursing like a sailor, etc. The use of a simile does not imply that the subject of the simile is a 12 year old boy, a donkey, a sea lion, a sailor, etc.

    It doesn’t seem like your parent comment is referring to the “12-year-old boy” part of its parent comment, but the “(…) information he might have (…)” part (near the end).

That's the writing style and tone that they wanted to put out. They went to a coffee shop to get what one gets at a coffee shop some coffee and some food and they were using some sort of a internet connected thing that frustrated them because of the coffee shop's poor internet connection. I think they did a perfectly good job and this is good writing and it's not indicative of their intelligence or maturity. Haven't you ever got frustrated at something where you just are constantly cursing inside. That seems to be what spurred this on, simple as.
