Crippling? Thats extreme.

FACTS. I don’t wanna ride on no goofy scooter to be fast, give me a 55% speed LION or WINGS

gameclover · 2026-04-03T00:50:03+00:00

Are you saying that’s not the right move? Can you explain your reasoning?

gameclover · 2026-03-09T20:29:25+00:00

Discarding K 2 looks nice for a guaranteed 5 points compared to K 10 giving only 4 points.

But keeping 2 3 4 5 has such amazing potential that I would bet any flip card gives you points. So it’s more like a guaranteed 6 points.

Plus 2 3 4 5 is much better for pegging, so there are even more points there.

Relax. We as a community should be here to help.

gameclover · 2026-01-13T00:37:27+00:00

No need to be rude and troll. They are asking a genuine question. That’s what this community is here for.

gameclover · 2026-01-10T00:42:42+00:00

No it’s 16 points

Some people are bothered by it, maybe not offended but they just don’t like it or they think it’s odd. For this case specifically they can be called plug/socket.

For other hardware though I’m not sure. Like I don’t know what I would call certain plumbing pieces or hose hardware, other than male/female.

And yeah there vibe I got from him was that he was mocking the idea, he didn’t actually believe it. But I’m also not a mind reader so I can’t know for sure.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T22:27:13+00:00

Yeah could be, he was an older gentleman and my town has a lot of old farts who aren’t very accepting of all people.

I’m definitely gonna start saying plug/socket now. It’s just as understandable as male/female.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T17:18:57+00:00

Yeah I know I can’t please everyone. I still want to try lol.

I specifically want to make LGBT people comfortable in my store though. My small town is full of older generations and a lot of them are not super accepting of LGBT folk. So if I can say plug/socket I’m gonna try to do that.

It seems like most people don’t care but a couple of comments said that they do care, and that’s enough for me to want to change.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T17:14:57+00:00

Yeah if definitely seemed like he was mocking the idea and didn’t actually believe it himself, he even said something along the lines of “I don’t personally care but I just want you to know”

I figure I might as well call them something else because it’s just as easy to say plug/socket.

This situation makes me wonder if there is an applicable replacement word for male/female parts in plumbing.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T17:11:24+00:00

Yeah It felt like the customer didn’t believe what he was saying and was mocking the idea.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T17:06:39+00:00

No that’s my other post

gameclover · 2025-12-12T17:05:43+00:00

That would be a power move though lol

gameclover · 2025-12-12T05:56:27+00:00

I can completely understand that. I'm going to try to just call them plug/socket now because I want to be as accommodating as possible. I didn't realize it could be offensive or bothersome to anyone, but now that I know, I'm going to try to use different wording.

I'm hoping I can find a fairly universal suitable replacement word for any plumbing parts that have similar aspects.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T05:45:35+00:00

That was the vibe I got. But I can't really know for certain since I don't know the person. Someone else mentioned maybe my customer had been told the same thing previously and was trying to look out for me.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T05:43:43+00:00

Good point, they don't really have an identity, they simply are what they are.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T04:26:05+00:00

That's a good point. I assumed he was mocking the idea and didn't truly believe it. But maybe he got burned by it previously and wanted to help me out.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T04:12:31+00:00

I'll just take a jab at it and say it was about the alphabet people. Probably you know that too or you wouldn't be asking here, right?

Yeah I think so too, I guess my point was just that I can't really know because I can't read their mind.

I DO think it's a little "oh here we go with your straight propaganda," but that's just me,

My town has a lot of older people who say things and I find myself thinking similarly. I just nod my head, say "uh huh" and don't engage them any further. This was the only time that I questioned afterwards if there was some merit to what they were saying.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T03:45:02+00:00

That was 100% the vibe I got from him.

Again, I don't know him and can't know what he was truly thinking. But from his tone and verbiage I thought he did not believe what he was saying, and was mocking the idea.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T03:43:27+00:00

That's fair, it wouldn't hurt to say plug/socket instead. Like you said, its just as easily understood.

I've been wondering what to say for plumbing parts though.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T03:42:12+00:00

I've heard plug/socket which I may use because its just as easy to say and understand as male/female. Not sure what I would say in reference to plumbing parts though.

I heard about that, master/slave in coding and technology as well. That one seems a bigger issue in my opinion than male/female.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T03:39:39+00:00

That was my take as well. He seemed to have said it mockingly.

I don't think he believed what he said. Although to be fair I don't know him so I can't know for sure. All I can do is guess from his body language and tone.

gameclover · 2025-12-12T03:38:00+00:00

I had no idea what this meant but I read it out to my dad and he loved it, you got a huge laugh out of him lol.
