It's an email scam as old as the Nigerian prince asking for money: someone claiming they hacked your webcam and have recorded you in an act of self-pleasure. Unless you pay up, the video will be sent to friends and family. The whole thing's a lie, of course, but a new type of malware has made this form of sextortion a reality.

Before you disrespect J R-O-C, it could happen to you cause it happened to me and T.

I cannot belive J Roc flipped that positive. He really is the people's champ.

I think it's his most honest and raw piece.

[–] Teal@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, he owned it and made it work. I agree it’s one of, if not the most, honest of all his songs in the show.

Plus the people in the pærk are like family so it’s all water under the fridge.

I place a sticky on my camera - jokes on the software

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Would that "sticky" be cum?

[–] lemmy12369@midwest.social 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ahhhhh. I meant sticky note. Caught me with my pants down

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not going to lie, it is a bit weird to jerk off to sticky notes

What about the microphone?

[–] blurb@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think one would be recognizable over the microphone while masturbating tbh.

Similarly, I put a little facial napkin square. You know how you cover up a shave with tiny square piece of tp!

Does this work? Sound is hard to stop, it goes through solid matter.

[–] lemmy12369@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

If you're a candidate for some election, sometime this kind of stupid thing is enough to make you lose credibility and lose an election.

[–] Bigfishbest@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

[–] milkisklim@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I have friends? And Family Members that would be embarrassed by my actions? Happy Day!

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

Blast it out to whoever you want, I'll even show my asshole if it gets you off.

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago
