The lack of an apostrophe for “Can see you’re logged in” is unreasonably irritating to this grammatical pedant.

Gary must have been in a hurry.

For sure, that is also one hell of a run-on sentence in that main block of text. Dude could do with some proper punctuation.

Is bad grammar not dirty talk? No wonder girls get freaked out when I say "let's eat grandma"...

that's not a lack of apostrophe. your is just a different word. if there were a lack of apostrophe it would have said youre.

The sentence requires the contraction of “you are”, which contracts down to “you’re”. The apostrophe is still missing even if a different and grammatically wrong word was used.
