Wtf even does "the current generations" mean? Whenever people say "the newer generation" or "the young generation" or something they just sound so fucking incompetent.

the act is disrespectful, to refer to human beings using pronouns; by referring to people using fully qualified names, respect and humility is shown. pronouns are a declaration of war on the attributed creature, as immense inferiority is implied. societies created names with purpose – and to sidestep names is to break the fabric of culture!
I can +1 this, a looong time ago I tried uninstalling Microsoft Edge and it made the system go ballistic. Every time I clicked a link, instead of going to my default browser (Chrome then) it would just open a completely broken Edge window with no functionality. Any time I tried to change settings, it'd do the same thing. Anything to do with touching the internet got fucked. I spent hours trying to reinstall Edge, contacting a Microsoft support person who was useless, before I realized that the official site only provides the Windows download for Edge if you set your user agent with... any system other than Windows. Huh.
these are definitely not the words of a cybersecurity prodigy, i can tell that
It's newspaper headline dialect. Normally it'd be "A Chick-fil-A owner" or "The Chick-fil-A owner" depending on which one it is, but news headlines often omit the article (in this case "a").
It originated partially as a way to save money, letters were expensive, and partially to keep people's attention by not taking too long to read; but now it's mostly just historical and used because many headlines don't "sound right" without it.

It may be confusing for those not accustomed to such things, especially ESL learners.
how? he's the owner of a chick-fil-a, and he drove to the victim's residence and committed statutory rape. what about the title doesn't plainly describe that???

i don't wanna be the one to tell the slaves "hey guys i know forced labour sucks and all but we gotta have more ammo for this random war half-way across the globe so you'll just have to push through it"
same for things like EVs. i like things that use batteries a lot, but i'd really have a stronger guarantee that the materials to make it aren't sourced by slave labour or methods that harm the local ecosystem... i mean a large part of that problem is also that the US has fuck all for recycling laws, i don't think most lithium is actually recycled anyways. but that's a different topic
massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.
being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)
