    No one is eating a banana as a main course. You are purposefully making false equivalences. Not to Mention the fact bananas are 54c per lb. You just took the lowest number you saw to get an "Own".

    Here's Ramen for 50 cents. Something that is eaten as an actual main course across hundreds of American colleges.

      or just drive instead, and bring as much luggage as you want. without paying extra. on your own schedule. and not inhaling 50-100 people and their kids' disgusting plague germs.

      god, fuck literally everything about flying

          It's not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I'm on the internet and you read it

          Actually it's about charging people extra as often as you can.

              We are talking about luggage weight. Pretty interesting how you ignore the rest of my post, it's pretty telling.

                    I don't see the problem with pricing clothes depending on how much material was used.

                        It's for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

                        Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it's not even handled by the staff.

                          the difference in price would be so small you wouldn't even care

                          the price of your clothing is mostly supply chain "middle-men" taking their share, not the source material nor the people actuality bringing it to shape. especially with synthetic materials

                          if it weren't true (i.e. if the material actually cost that much), stores wouldn't literally destroy / throw away brand new clothes just to "refresh" every couple of weeks

                            Learning isn't stealing. Humans also learn by looking at different works. By "stealing," as you call it.

                              I agree that it's not stealing. It's automated plagiarism.

                                there's such a thing called "copyright", and using countless pieces of art for free so that a couple of douchebags become gazillionnaires selling copyright infringement on said pieces of art certainly feels like theft

                                  Obesity is a curable disease that people are self responsible for. Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares. Even peoples height (which they have zero control over) is shamed and no one bats an eye. Im not saying you should be rude to overweight people, but there are ridiculous double standards.

                                  Obesity is responsible for many dying much earlier than the normal life span. Though many here want to deny it. If you care about a person who is obese you wouldn't tell them you're fine and no need to lose weight. BUT if you encounter obese people you should never say anything about their appearance. And no smirks or dirty looks either. You have no idea what is going on in their life that got them to this point. The cruelest thing is supporting an obese person by telling them it's just fine. It's no different then telling an obviously anorexic person that they look great and aren't too skinny

                                    Poor gazillionaires (sobbing). Can we donate them? I can send them a few kg of shit. Or some grass, now it is a season for the grass.

                                      The overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.
