I think you forgot to delete the word "brain"? Not sure what's going on here. I think maybe the idea is that you're angry because I don't like transparent terminals?

I don't normally open my mouth to type. Transparent terminals unnecessarily increase computational power required to render simple text. They make a fundamental application harder for a computer to run. This makes the core program less portable by raising the hardware requirements. The only gain is (arguably) aesthetic. This, in short, is a completely braindead idea of no practical value, unless you tend to use a computer in the manner of someone who has been hit very hard in the head and has forgotten entirely what computers do and what terminals are
