Is the fact that his fatter was executed by the secret police not enough of a demonstration of how bad it was?

I am an organ donor recipient. I understand that on two separate occasions, someone died and their loved ones agreed to let doctors use the deceased person's body to restore my vision. It was an incredible sacrifice.

However, I (and my parents, for the first transplant) signed a ream of paper agreeing to adhere to the privacy and anonymity rules that you are now complaining about. Those rules are in place for a reason. There are people out there who are not able to handle seeing the recipient of their loved one's organs, and never will be able to handle it. And there are other people who will never be able to handle meeting the loved ones of the donor. And there are even more people who will twist what was supposed to be a no-strings-attached altruistic decision into a guilt trip, or try to keep their loved one's memory alive vicariously through the recipient.

For this and other reasons, you are being forbidden by the organ donating agency from meeting with the recipient, or from identifying yourself to them and vice versa.

Your response to this is to appeal to Reddit in an attempt to, in essence, doxx someone and yourself.

At any point in this process, have you considered that the rules and agreements in place are there for your protection and that of the recipient?

Not to mention "the average household spends $640 a year on the lottery" is almost useless in terms of conveying information.

I'd bet that more than half of all Americans never play the lottery ever.

How about just a "Don't autoformat anything unless I goddamn ask you to" button

Why present the statistic as "the average for the entire US is X" when you know the data is so extremely skewed?

"Half of the US never plays at all, and the other half spends an average of $1280 a year" would still not paint the whole picture - among the half that plays, most probably play very very little, likely in an 80-20 distribution. In fact, for the sake of estimation, let's just assume that it's exactly 80-20 - the top 20% of spenders account for 80% of the spending. That means the top 20% is spending an average of $5120, and the bottom 80% is spending an average of $320.

Now we've finally got some interesting, usable data:

• 50% of the US spends zero dollars a year
• 40% spends $320 a year
• 10% spends a whopping $5120 a year

That tells us a lot more than "The average household spends $640", doesn't it?
