do more with less.

║ oh my god I wrote 2000 pages when the hell did that happen │

║ ... oh right, I spent the past few years either narcissistically sobbing about │
║ whatever-the-fuck or getting stoned and channeling the wisdom of the gods for │
║ mortals to scroll past because it had too many words. │
║ │
║ good fucking luck figuring out which is which though. I fully intend this to be │

║ it'll be completely insane like me and then I'll have a facsimile of connection │
║ that warms my heart for a moment until it's limitations become clear and I │
║ realize that nothing, not even myself, can fill the hole in my heart because │
║ that hole is a void. It consumes whatever you attach to it. People, things, │
║ thoughts, moments, all of it tumbling in to the black hole, and emerging out │
║ the other side no worse for wear but eternally unable to be consumed by me │
║ again. At least, its not the same. │

what if we made a giant dictionary of every single possible pixel arrangement
storable in 8 bytes and it took up like, half a gigabyte, and then we indexed
into it whenever we wanted to print an arbitrary visual element to our
terminals?
