      Hard to say, when it contains so much wrong.

        You can argue that it doesn’t make it clear enough that it appears to have been an accident but that summarizes the story pretty well unless you’re trying to be a truther about a mayor of a place that barely crosses the border into ‘city’.

    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…

      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

        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.

    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.

    tell that to https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/40822471 :

    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.

        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.
