Ryan George is awesome, I can recommend the whole channel plus the Pitch Meetings channel where he makes fun of movies :)

Decided to write it in python for brevity.

if you.can_read_this():
    you.is_too_close = True 

though if you know what you're doing, you'd be more likely to do something like

you.is_too_close = you.can_read_this()

Get a laser printer. The initial cost is a bit higher, but toner is much cheaper than ink in the long run, and it doesn't run dry
