Can anyone using the free version of Zoom Workplace please suggest why I can't get a test tone to play on any output audio device and what I might do about it? I'm using windows and have checked the volume control panel to confirm the volume is up and the button unmuted. I have tried multiple speakers and reinstalled. Would be very grateful for any help. Thanks.

Worst thing about Uber? Other than their terrible customer service of course, the number of begging emails they send you touting for business when you're already a regular customer.

@goatsarah @ajlanes I'm blind. Can't see the image.

@chiffchaff @goatsarah Well you've replied and run away so I guess this reply is kinda pointless, but "tain't necessarily so" is proven by the fact that some trans people feel rejected and discriminated against by members of the lesbian and gay communities. Lesbian women rejecting trans women being seen as transphobic. Transphobia without homophobia. And "tain't necessarily so" is all that matters to show the generalised assumption false.

@goatsarah @WhiteCatTamer I think you're taking issue with the second "their" of my post this references. I was thinking woman/women in my head, since we're not talking about the choice to mistreat an individual, rather the choice to mistreat an individual based on their membership of a group, making it likely they'd do the same with any group member. which there wasn't space to write. Apologies for the lack of clarity, if I have you write.

@goatsarah anything's possible, but the OP says "if this person does x, he must also do y". That's a generalisation that logic simply doesn't support. Given that transphobia and misoginy are different traits, there is nothing to say that a negative behaviour directed at one person for one cause would be directed at another for a different one. What I'm trying to say is that, if we both agree the things in my post are possible, it follows that the OP cannot be stated as fact.

@WhiteCatTamer @goatsarah All agreed with, but none of that proves that just because you are unwhittingly one thing, you are also that other thing. It's the labelling someone as such with no evidence other than their behaviour in another, related but different, area, that I take strong issue with. Let's come at this from another angle. A sys woman mistreates a trans woman because of their identity. Would you say she's missoginistic to sys women?

@WhiteCatTamer @goatsarah One can be racist without being sexist, homophobic without being xenophobic, transphobic without being homophobic. To say you are one therefore you must be all is nonsense. If someone, for whatever reason, has it in for trans people, it does not follow that he has it in for sys people of a different genda.

@goatsarah I don't see how this makes sense. It's perfectly possible for someone to be transphobic but have perfectly healthy and normal relationships with anyone who isn't trans. It seems quite the leep to say look how he mistreats trans people, he must, therefore, mistreat people who are not trans. 😕

@jscholes When you're working with a character limit, it makes sense.

@jscholes Didn't know that

Well good gosh good grief. Doing what I believe is my first American grossery shop and the food prices are enough to make my eyes water!

@drewdevault Doesn't this create a tension with innocent until proven guilty?

Happy birthday to me.
