Amateur. You're supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I could see accidently leaving your camera on but this guy had to make a deliberate step to save it and send it.

Time to tow the clown car to the dump, all the clowns are out.

lunch-break masturbation

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

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, isn't this how everyone does WFH lunch?

[–] marker2002@midwest.social 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I knew I was forgetting something... Need to find my blender.

[–] faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

...For the milkshake, right?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 5 points 14 hours ago

Is this sarcasm? Its pretty normal.

What's not normal is recording a video of it and sending that video to a coworker. That's the part that's not ok

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

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

If it was Trump he would've just grabbed his crotch in front of the press and said "Tariffs!"

Anthony Weiner woke up in a cold sweat. He had no idea why.

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.'

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

I'm sure the post would've highlighted it if it were a democrat. Just fascist propaganda things...

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

ffs, personal shit on personal devices, work shit on work devices. That way you don't fat finger dick picks to colleagues.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Even better practice is to assume that all your phone data is public.

I think you mean fax finger dick picks to colleagues, but how did you know?

adds to 'Things to do on your last day to burn all bridges if you magically come into wealth' wish list

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This almost happened to me at work. I almost pasted some NSFW text to work slack because i was trying to copy a link but i didnt realize that for some reason the link didn't copy. So when i pasted the text to slack, it pasted my last copied text which contained some NSFW content. I was so panicked but thankfully i did not send the message. At the same time idk if i would want to carry two phones with me At all times. I would also need to keep both phones charged. Urg. I wish there was a way to keep your clipboard separate between personal and work profiles.

Tha'ts why you Ctrl+C thrice and Ctrl+V once.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 3 points 12 hours ago

Long-press and copy twice. It's the law.

False.

Lol the use of wanker here is 10/10

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

Which head?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Wonder if he thought there was something going on between them so he decided to escalate it to the "How can she resist a guy jerking off?" level.

[–] Lawdoggo@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

Probably lead particles and ivermectin

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago
