I assume some variation of this exist for other jurisdictions, but in the US, some crimes require prosection to prove "intent" (mens rea) Depending on the crime, you might have to know that it's illegal for mens rea.

In US Tax Court, there's precedence that ignorance of tax code is a defense for criminal tax.

The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren't the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.

My wife worked at a rental office for an apartment building and had the same experience.

Which isn't to say there can't be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.

It's hard to prove the blanket statement, "there are no good reasons to have a private jet." But it's easy to prove, "one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous."

I've never worked in the UK, so I don't know what the processes are like, but here's my two cents from the perspective of probabilities.

It's possible to have a large, freak accident at an otherwise safe work environment. But if an environment has lots of small issues, it seems more likely for a larger issue to happen there.

Maybe the equivalent of OSHA in the US?

Whether they're directly caused by an ADHD neurotype or not, all those things are associated with ADHD

To pick one at random, Rejection Sensitive Disphoria (RSD) is often found with people who have ADHD. People dealing with RSD often imagine rejection where none was intended. That includes reading negative feelings into text messages, conversations, etc.

(CAVEAT: I am not an expert. This is not my professional field. This is speculation from someone who has ADHD and is around ADHD kids) I don't know if there's good research out there or not about RSD+ ADHD, but I suspect RSD is conditioned. Growing up with ADHD, you get a lot of negative feedback from people. You aren't paying attention well enough, you're often clumsy, you often say the wrong things at the wrong time, etc. With enough of that sort of feedback, developing negative self talk which turns into full RSD sounds like a natural outcome.

Under the bed

 

I've used filthis.com for years to automatically grab PDFs for credit card bills, mortgage statements, bank statements, and utility bills. It's taken a lot of the headache out of archiving financial records.

I just heard FileThis is shutting in the next couple of months. Does anyone have service they use for automatically downloading this kind of stuff? I'm open to paid, free, hosted, and self-hosted projects.
