For me personally: Veganism is also about signaling to the outside world. Suppose I were to skin an animal that died naturally and make a jacket out of it, this would probably be the most ethical way to produce a leather jacket. But I still wouldn’t wear it, because by doing so I would signal to the outside world that it’s okay to wear the skinned hide of animals. Outsiders can’t know under what circumstances I got the leather.

It might be a bit more radical, which is why I might face hostility, but I also throw away non-vegan foods that I unintentionally receive, instead of giving them to non-vegans. Simply because I don’t want to project to the outside: “Here you go. I would never eat it because I find it unethical, but if you eat it, then that’s okay.”

I’d rather buy handsoap for a few cents than moisturize my hands every time.

Ohh I thought that Lemmy automatically resize and converts my picture to a compressed .webp file. Thank you!

Had the same problem yesterday. You clicked on “Upload picture”, selected one, and nothing happened?

I discovered Brutus a few weeks ago. Stefanie Mannaerts is the vocalist and plays the drums simultaneously. The power in her voice while smashing the hell out of her drums… incredible. I was blown away when I saw a Video of her performance and realized it. What Have We Done is probably my favorite.
