North Dakota mayor resigns after texting lunch-break masturbation video to city attorney
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.
ffs, personal shit on personal devices, work shit on work devices. That way you don't fat finger dick picks to colleagues.
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?
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.

False.
Why is this grounds for resignation? He clearly said he sent it by accident.
Could happen to anyone.
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.
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.
Wait I thought the point was to have special privilege, dang I'm going to throw in the towel on my campaign
You want him to be high on the job too? Now THAT would be unprofessional.
That kind of stuff gets sucked into my phone all the time
Should I post this to software gore?
Three Partial headlines are shown, what more do you want? 😤
Oh wow I thought that was multiple screenshots...
I heartily endorse switching to a browser with built-in adblockers (even just specifically for viewing news websites).
lunch-break masturbation
Oh of course! Sandwich, milkshake, masturbate. That's lunch break, right?
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
pulled himself out of office Wednesday
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.

Probably lead particles and ivermectin
He is covid free now though!
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.
Which head?
Lol, he even looks a little like Louis C.K.
🪨
Did I read this headline right? Wtf?
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'.
The bar is so low and these guys still clothesline themselves somehow
It's all fun and games until they figure out how to take us with them
Oh so a man can't jerk it at work now? What if he was on a break? Accidents happen.
/S
Male 'mistakes'
Why is everyone doing sex stuff over zoom of all places
Women do it to they just charge men money for it
This sounds like something a Republican would do.
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.
But also he was anti mask during covid, so not exactly anti-Republican.
Amateur. You're supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.
Without reading the article, I think I have a better than 50/50 chance at guessing the mayor’s political party.
technically a 'non partisan' office, but my guess is the same as youRs.
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.

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.
This to me is an unhinged situation to begin with...People do weird things when turned on by the idea of doing something they perhaps should not. Discussion of a cop committing suicide might have not been strong enough to overcome a possible desire to send the video, that is merely a guess. There's nothing that I could do to prove it, as this is merely a gut feeling of mine based on the information. I still feel that if you intend to send lewd media of self or others, confirming who will be receiving it is something that you verify first. As it leads to fewer problems in life.
Or bad on her if it was an obvious mistake. Publicly outing someone for a lewd text you accidentally get is kind of a Karen move. It'd be a pretty dumb thing to intentionally send to someone you weren't 100% sure was going to want it. It's not something a couple dumb 20 year olds working at Target would do. You don't hand an attorney keys to blackmail you on purpose.
he's like well if im gonna do it ill might as well save money on the investigation and cut out the middleman
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...
Can we ban nypost from this comm please? They're not a credible source
He MUST have been a Democrat! REPUBLICANS would PROMOTE someone who Shows THOSE types of Family Loving Values!
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.”
bucket list
☑ "accidentally" send Steffie in Legal jerkoff video
☑ quit job and watch soaps all day
☐ bungee jump naked, send Steffie video lol
I'll need to see the video before I'm willing to make any judgements. Inshallah
people never take things as intended. always over reacting.
Immediately reminded me of this skit from Key and Peele : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbGAaEnecfU
Time to tow the clown car to the dump, all the clowns are out.
"Oops, ignore that plz. Lol ¯(ツ)/¯"
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?
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 :
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.
I could see accidently leaving your camera on but this guy had to make a deliberate step to save it and send it.
Anthony Weiner woke up in a cold sweat. He had no idea why.
I knew it was a guy just from the title alone, it's always a guy who does these things
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.
Nothing like some classy yellow journalism from the NYP.
Seems like a case where it might have been an actual accident. Sexual harassment is bad, but we as a society do need to figure out how to handle occasional actual oopsies without ending somebody's career.
Dude, he was video taping himself at work. He should resign.
It could have been a series of accidents. Maybe he tripped and fell? And then was trying to call for help… and then uhh..
Do we really care what somebody is doing during their lunch break? He presumably wasn't doing it in front of staffers or in a public place.
As long as he was doing so in privacy; so fucking what?
Maybe you shouldn't film yourself jerking off
You obviously have no ambition of perfecting your technique
If only he'd sent war plans, he could have just shrugged and moved on like nothing happened.
Maybe a video of him jerking off to war plans
This isn’t the warthunder forums….
If it was Trump he would've just grabbed his crotch in front of the press and said "Tariffs!"
