Texting a video, oh my, that must have been exhausting per se but with the touchscreen smartphone keyboard it seems even more epic, to write so many 0s and 1s.... kudos also for the receiver that translated the binary into a reproducible format...

lunch-break masturbation

Oh of course! Sandwich, milkshake, masturbate. That's lunch break, right?

You gotta wonder what the fuck was going through that idiot's head. If you want to end your career, just resign. You don't actually have to do something like this first.

You're juste using proper numeric hygiene by locking your phone when you masturbate during lunch breaks. Like everyone ought to.

Why is everyone doing sex stuff over zoom of all places

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They aren’t..the Canadian was changing from joggers to his work clothes and left a camera on so I’m not even sure why that got collected into masturbating. Unless people here are so unfamiliar with the naked body they don’t know these are separate things.

This is my worst nightmare, this is why I have ordered a 3d printed camera cover for my webcam, easy to double check that it's covered

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I mean who hasn't done this?

Whom amongst us can say they have not sent a lunchtime wank vid to the city attorney of North Dakota?

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This sounds like something a Republican would do.

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently he's nonpartisan, at least according to this daily beast article And while I agree with you to an extent, the REAL Republican thing to do would be to not resign, and try to blame the city attorney for hacking his phone.

Some of the best parts-

"City Attorney Stefanie Stalheim told investigators she had spoken to Ross about a police officer’s suicide just minutes before she received a video of the mayor going to town on himself."

"Ross tried to put the jack back in the box — explaining to Stalheim that he recorded the “sexy video for his girlfriend” on his lunch break and requested the attorney delete the smut and keep the entire incident between the two of them.

The wanker later told city investigators that his girlfriend’s name also begins with the letter ‘C,’ which is why the vulgar vid was mistakenly sent to a contact saved as ‘City Attorney,’ the outlet reported."

As to political party, the post is "apolitical," so there is no party affiliation.

We already know there's like a 90% chance it's a Republican, even without knowing that this is rural North Dakota.

Confirmed

From back before he was mayor: 'Alderman Tom Ross disagreed. “Obviously, since I’m the only one up on the dais without a face mask, I’m going to speak to the other side,” he said.'

Oh so a man can't jerk it at work now? What if he was on a break? Accidents happen.

So, you can add a nickname to a Jason saying “co-founder,” or maybe “national security adviser,” and no one else is going to see it. Just you. When you’re trying to make a group chat, perhaps.

He MUST have been a Democrat! REPUBLICANS would PROMOTE someone who Shows THOSE types of Family Loving Values!

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, a Republican wouldn’t step down. Because they believe, ”The only moral ~~abortion~~ lunch-break masturbation video to texted to city attorney is my ~~abortion~~ lunch-break masturbation video to texted to city attorney.”

I'll need to see the video before I'm willing to make any judgements. Inshallah
