That is the whole insurance business. It is nothing but a bet if you look at it by a single policy. E.g. your insurance bets you'll probably die at 70, so when you hit 71 you paid more than you get when you die. Your insurance wins. But when you die at 55 you "win" the bet. But because there isn't just one but thousands of policies those bets aren't bets anymore, they're nothing but statistics. And one part is keeping track and calculating how old people born in year xy, in country ... with the gender zxy are going to be.

Nope. I don't know exactly why but it seems that e.g. a trans man is more likely to die in a stupid accident like driving a motorcycle without a helmet at 200km/h and vice versa. It isn't much of a medicine aspect and more of a lifestyle one.
Sometimes you have to ask for it. E.g. I work in the life insurance business and we need to know the gender for policy calculation.
Or both.
Interesting, cause I stopped giving things away for free or at least I don't write it into the offer, cause in Germany it happend quite a lot that people didn't show up, when I wanted to just give it away. I don't know why, maybe if it's free it's not that important I guess? So I started to offer things for a few bucks but still I want some money (at least I write that I want money). When someone arrives and wants to pick something up I just tell them to just take it. That way I get rid of so much more stuff and the people collecting stuff are always so happy as well.
Maybe because Russia "hacked" (if the rumours are true, Russia just dialed in) a German defence conference and played the audio track of it with topics of the war in a news show. If Ukraine hacked into russia defence stuff, it shows they're not that great and untouchable.
Nothing of high, high value either but one time I bought a box full of Yu-Gi-Oh cards at a garage sale. It was just a small christmas box but full of cards, often even in sleeves. The guy who sold it even asked me if he should get rid of them. He didn't know the box had something in it and thought I just wanted the box itself. I denied and asked for the price. The lowest he could get was 50ct for an item. Since it was a box and cards it was 2 items, so 1€ in total. The most valuable card is around 30€ at the moment, the full box around 100-120€.
A lot has been said and it's absolutely true. Just take your time. Even if the games starts to feel like you should rush you don't have to, there is no time limit.
Just 2 things I want to add:
-
if the fishing mini game feels to hard, go to Willy (the fishing shop where you get your first fishing rod) and buy the training rod, it costs 25G and makes the first steps so much easier. Just remember to throw it away after the first 3 or so fishing levels, cause you can only catch the basic fish with it no matter your skill level.

Use the wiki: even though the last updates made it easier to figure stuff like loved presents for each NPC, it's still a pain in the a**. And after so many updates (or more free add ons), there is a lot of stuff you can do and sometimes have to know otherwise it can be frustrating.
Did he send flowers?
Mostly from small people either tricked into buying the "new bitcoin/Nvidia/apple/... before it's to late or dumb people hyped by other dumb people into buying it. And if enough small people invested and the stock rises the big player collect the profit.
Oh please let someone refuse to marry a hetero couple.
Celebrated it once in Munich and was told it's the second biggest St Patrick's parade in Europe, but don't know if it's true. It was definitely fun, but thanks to a parade member I suffered some hearing loss cause he screamed out of nowhere right into my ear (he was dressed as a viking and thought it would be funny to "scare" people). So no intention going back personally.
And I learned that it's an American tradition partying and celebrating loudly and the old Irish way is a very quiet and serious one, no partying at all. Did it change? Do people in Ireland celebrate the day like parts in the rest of the world?
