Behold My Leveling Power

[c9]

I bought a new toy. I can't find any images of the types of images it projects, but this puppy

projects a dot, or a line, or a crosshairs. It's quite exciting.

I can even project these things on the building across the street.

So watch out.

Use laser beam to ensure lines are straight - tape walls, paint.

I want to do some more unique painting on the walls when I move, with boxes and stuff - having a laser will make is easier than a San Francisco Fag.

I was being sarcastic, Dave. Sheesh. Yes, it can do exactly that, and is exactly why someone might use it. More often for hanging things, but any old use of a level, really.

You use fag rather often. Is there a reason?

It's a desensitisation of the word, without forgetting what it really means.
It's a tactic used by many minorities to reduce the harmfulness of the word itself (examples include any rap music, Jews calling ourselves kikes, Yids, I know Chinese folks who call themselves chinks etc).

Plus, by referring to myself in a derogatory matter, I don't get offended when others do, as all it is to me is a negative word. It has the same sting as if someone were to call me a bitch, cunt, whore, ass(hole), prick, shmuck etc.

Ahh, I see.
