English speakers of the fedi. In a software with the interface in English, Reading a menu with verbs such as Save, Open, Close, Edit, Format etc., do you read them as imperative (an order: "do this") or as an infinitive (the "base form" of the verb, like "to do this")?

Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

Periodic reminder that DIY HRT exists! It’s exactly what it sounds like - buying and taking the medication on your own, without a doctor’s prescription. This can be a lifeline to anyone blocked from standard routes to HRT, and is legal in most jurisdictions! [1,2]

“Official” HRT is generally safer and preferred if you have access, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using DIY options when you need. Whether that’s an inability to access the best medications, a doctor who won’t prescribe a proper dose, or even a complete ban on gender-affirming care - DIY HRT is morally and legally acceptable.

Here’s some websites with helpful information and links to sources:

1. Most jurisdictions draw a distinction between buying and selling prescription medications. It’s usually illegal to sell a medication to someone without a prescription, but it’s not illegal to buy one. Many online sellers are happy to exploit this loophole and sell medication out of regions with weak or unenforced regulation.
2. An unfortunate exception is testosterone, which is a controlled substance and therefore illegal to buy in the United States. Many common DIY resources don’t provide instructions to obtain it, but such sources do exist.

“The most merciful thing in the modern tech stack, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of top-level abstractions in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The reverse-engineers and security researchers, each straining in their own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of computation, and of our frightful dependence upon it, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

Hang on... Is "body doubling" literally just the way that humans are adapted for working together?

Is body doubling actually more natural (for lack of a better word) for us? Do humans just tend to thrive better when they do the work of life in community with each other?
