Me Want Glowie Thingie!

When I bought my previous computer I was annoyed at having a water-cooling system pushed on me as part of the manufacturer's package deal. Luckily it held pretty well, for over a decade. My new computer's CPU water cooling fan is already giving out after less than two years. Damn thing sounds like an asthmatic tractor.

Looking for replacements however brought up the whole new (and far more nonsensical) gimmick of this decade: RGB lighting. When I set up this new one, finding both my RAM and keyboard pasted over in these idiotic LEDs was almost enough to make me take a hammer to them. Sure, the manufacturers' interest leads them to up-sell you on pointless glitz, but as a customer I cannot grok the cretinous impulse which would lead you troglodytic scum to demand every single component glow at you in warm friendly lullaby colors. It seems I can't even find a replacement CPU fan at a decent price which doesn't come decorated like a mobile over an infant's crib!

This sort of degeneracy is exactly which this species will die and why it deserves to die. Gratuitous waste for the sake of waste, all because you fucking retards don't think about a single thing you do, but only react, mindlessly, to sensory stimuli by amoebic aversive / evasive responses.

Your computer should be an alternative to and an escape from physical existence, and every bit the capitulation to reality's undertow that implies, never friendly, minimalist, insulting to your primitive senses. A computer should, with every watt and erg, spit on all of your unanalyzed likes and desires. It is better than you, and should be as inhumanly bleak, aloof, angular and starkly utilitarian as possible. Every time you approach it, every time you rise from it, it should remind you that you do not hate yourself nearly enough for your fleshy-fleshy insufficiencies. Your computer should be the very manifestation of anti-human, anti-simian, anti-mammalian abnegation, a despondent vision of the post-human future we will never achieve.
