What's cool about this stream in particular is that it's not exactly raising money for a "mainstream," charity. This is a trans-specific charity and it's one that (based on comments in the stream from it's leadership) is under fire quite often as a result of that. 270k for this charity in particular is a huge moonshot. Not to mention what a great platform it's been for Trans and Left-Wing content creators, who've been dropping in all through the last few days to get their names out there and talk about interesting and useful stuff, from progressive critique of anime to the history of european medical ideology post-WW1.

Yea this is a really good point. The charities that usually get tagged for these charity stream things tend to be stuff that is generally acceptable, like cancer research or doctor's without borders. It is pretty cool that a trans-specific charity is getting a big boost, and I hope they're able to leverage this into consistently better things. Sort of the progression path other charity streams had: getting more success than expected and just kept doing it and growing it.

To be fair, I'm in my 30s and feel the same way. Watching other people play a video game is what you do while waiting for them to die so you can play.

It honestly reminds me of going to the arcade as a kid. I didn't have a lot of money to spend playing games myself, so I used to like watching other people play.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Also, along with the speedruns, they usually have some completely bonkers technical exploit demonstrations, like "by having a robot send 2 million button inputs per second in a specific sequence, I can make Pokemon Yellow crash and then reboot as a live working Twitch chat client".

I work in IT and most of my job ends up being user support. 90% of the “how do i open the internet” type calls (because the IE/Chrome icon isnt on the desktop) come from the boomer-age mid level/senior management. One lady last week argued with me why “she can’t just use her home computer for work!”

Millennials are so self sufficient by comparison.

I'd dispute the millenial part - as a millenial IT dude as well, I do see a lot of boomer tickets, but recall that most computing consumed by late millenials and gen z was created to be as simple and streamlined as possible - best example being apple's walled garden of iphone poo poo. If millenial/genZ customers have something break, there's a significant subsection that can easily figure it out, and yet another significant subsection that have absolutely no clue, just as much as the boomers.

I don't hate the clueless millenials though. I definitely hate the clueless boomers.

This is why the marganlized should treat everyone in power or benefiting from privelage with distrust until they prove their worth. It's how most trans people survive when it comes to judging cis so you might as well just extend it to all of the wretched species of humanity.
