If only he'd sent war plans, he could have just shrugged and moved on like nothing happened.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe a video of him jerking off to war plans

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago

This isn’t the warthunder forums….

Naughty little unit left their flank exposed!

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oof that's a little too on the nosecone.

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.

Lol the use of wanker here is 10/10

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

Why is this grounds for resignation? He clearly said he sent it by accident.

Could happen to anyone.

[-] WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 32 points 2 weeks ago

Are you also jacking it at work in your lunch break?

[-] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

It’s like pooping, why would I wait until I got home if I could be paid to do it at the office?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Do you record yourself pooping?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Who are you texting your poop videos that might mistakenly go to a co-worker?

[-] pandapoo@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, who am I NOT sending those videos to?

It's called friendly competition, okay? We also give each other pointers.

Sure he SAID it was an accident, AFTER she reacted with outrage. Then he tried to shut her up. That's the behavior of someone who's gotten away with this behavior before, probably with women who were in a more vulnerable position. She wound up filing for sexual harassment, so this may be the tip of the iceberg for his behavior. It's what she had evidence for.

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, people regularly get fired for way less than whacking it in the bathroom and accidentally sending the video to coworkers. Besides I'm of the opinion that the mayor should be held to higher standards not lower ones.

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

Let ye who has not sent a masturbation video to a city attorney cast the first stone.

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.

[-] Lawdoggo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

You gotta wonder what the fuck was going through that idiot's head

Probably lead particles and ivermectin

[-] MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 weeks ago

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

/S

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 24 points 2 weeks ago

This sounds like something a Republican would do.

[-] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 20 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 21 points 2 weeks ago

Without reading the article, I think I have a better than 50/50 chance at guessing the mayor’s political party.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

technically a 'non partisan' office, but my guess is the same as youRs.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

Im a male, with a job, and had 0 accidents. Am I doing something wrong?

[-] GrosPapatouf@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

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 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Personally, I've only sent videos that I've intended. Typos, sure that's understandable as autocorrect can be a true bastard at the worst moments; after reading the article, something about the situation makes me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video. It's hard to accidentally send lewd content to another person if you are being diligent about checking if you've selected the right recipient (always verify the receiver before sending lewd content). Good for the City Attorney for calling this man out on this alleged mistake.

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video

But then it goes into the other problem. They just had a conversation about a cop killing himself, then he immediately though to send her that.

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...

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

"Oops, ignore that plz. Lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
