    First of all I was joking, as I know that selling your friends’ personal data without thier consent is not only immoral but also ILLEGAL in all free countries. If you, for some reason, need this to be be clarified, I do not endorse giving away other people’s personal data.
    Second: when my father found two boxes of cigarettes in my bedroom when I was 13, he made me smoke all of them in one sitting. I never smoked again.

      smoked 2 boxes of cigarettes in one sitting

      that seems like an extremely reckless way to scold your child

        I threw up twice and got a sore throat so bad I had to take medicines for two weeks.
        But hey, it worked. Maybe if you have to do it, just stop after the first pack…

            I would actually argue that this argument is more suited for Greece. I was born here and live here now, and the bueraucracy is absolutely horrendous. If you have money, however, you pay a lawyer and they do everything for you. And, at least on the islands, the police literally doesn’t work. I used to drive about 30 km daily… when I was 13. I saw a police car at least once a week (way too frequently for Greece), even drove by them, greeted them, never got caught.

            Bonus points:

            1. The GDPR, while far from perfect, still applies here;
            2. many people live here that cannot, for the life of them, use computers. Digitalization is starting to emerge here and it’s still in it’s infancy, but even when they are done, you will still be able to do any government actions the “analog” way;
            3. since this is Greece, where democracy emerged, people do their best to protect it (although lately this isn’t working out too well).
