> - help load and unload the checked luggage for extra loyalty points

I would legitimately want this; I have a big fear of my luggage going missing (so as much as possible, I try to do only carry-on if I can cram everything in), so being able to personally load the luggage in the plane I'm flying in would actually be extremely anxiety reducing for me.

> Warren Buffet would never spend such a ridiculous amount of money on a watch.

He has apparently at least a 40k+ watch. [1]

> Night shift/2nd shift is a thing.

Yes, of course and definitely I considered as I mention if he/she meant 2nd job, etc. Just the phrasing threw me off as it says 'day', then '10pm' and it's written as if it is a normal occurrence for the majority of the population (which would imply night shift/2nd shift is normal working times for the majority). Just wanted to get clarification from OP on exactly what was meant to satisfy my own curiosity.

A little ignorant here, could you explain a little more on this part.

> the highlight of the day was going to a cafe at 10 pm in middle of work

Is it 'normal' to have to work late to 10pm, or does it mean second job, etc.? Or was that just a typo and you meant 10am?

My gut instinct is 10am, but wanted to ask directly out of curiosity if I was wrong and get a better cultural understanding.

OP's original statement of "The death rate in the United States per 1000 male adults as of 2022 is 163." comes from [1]. That statistic is defined as, "Adult mortality rate, male, is the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60--that is, the probability of a 15-year-old male dying before reaching age 60, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified year between those ages."
