    A car is far from the only consumer of petroleum. Many electrical grids directly use hydrocarbons, construction uses petroleum, public transportation uses petroleum, local shipping uses petroleum, overseas shipping uses petroleum, manufacturing uses petroleum, plastic is made from petroleum, farms run on petroleum… Sure, most of those industries are trying to convert energy sources, but in no way can an individual avoid petroleum consumption and still live. Avoiding windows and Adobe is less insurmountable, but still a powerful stressor for people just trying to make a living.

      This also matches my comparison.

      Maybe someone who makes the GIMP uses photoshop. I actively don’t, and I recommend that others stop using it.
      Maybe someone who delivers my food uses petroleum. I actively don’t, and I recommend that others stop using it.

      All these elements influence my decisions. If you want to continue promoting Adobe and Big Oil, that’s on you.

          My desktop was given to me by my job. My laptop, I rode a bicycle to my friends house and paid him cash. What does that have to do with my promotion of being Adobe free?

            You really are hands-off on this petroleum situation. You’ve got no part in it. It’s official. Everything in your life is a bike ride away and therefore didn’t use petroleum to get to your locality and didn’t take any to be manufactured. You won

              Like, literally no one is stopping you from using Adobe stuff. No need to be salty, you do you. ✌
