And among the reasons you might get bitten, according to that article?

Mating Season

Iguanas have a breeding season and it's not uncommon your pet is going to try and mate with you. This means that a male iguana will take a bite as it would a female. While this is not a dangerous bite, an iguana may hold onto until he is finished.

Pushing him away will make him aggressive and encourage him to bite harder.

So... lie back and think of England? :stare:

I am no expert, but I am under the impression that iguana bites only get really hosed up once iguanas get big, which as I understand is like a foot and a half and up to 30 pounds.

Iguanas have an impressive bite strength for their size, and being largely herbivorous. They bite when they feel threatened, but also bite due to territoriality, and also bite when attempting to mate. They worry their bites like a terrier.

Their bites can be bad.

There will also be a difference in the bite of a pet iguana that's expressing annoyance that its owner is trying to pick it up when it doesn't want to be, and the bite of a wild iguana that thinks a big pink ape is about to eat it.

We have video evidence, but let’s not be hasty here. There are very fine people on many sides.

It's legalese. Until you've been convicted anything you've done is 'allegedly'. Newspapers use it so they can't be accused of showing bias against the offending party.

Years ago, in Australia, we had a series of anti-littering adverts (which I now can't find), that showed people reacting to litterers by saying "Tosser," and wiggling their pinky fingers at them, to imply that littering was the act of a man with a small penis.

Australian to standard English dictionary:
"To toss" means to throw away, so a "tosser" is someone who throws things away, in this case, rubbish in inappropriate places.
A "tosser" is also someone who masturbates, à la "wanker," and is used as a general insult.

It was quite a good campaign, I thought.

e: Welp, it seems I've mixed up my early '00s adverts. The "Tosser" advert, and the "pinky" advert were separate. The pinky was for speeding, which makes more sense.

I can see it in the sense that those men would likely be the type to care deeply about something like penis size, and I'm assuming speeding is mostly done by men (although at my last job the women were the ones racking up the tickets for some reason).

The Korean thing just seems weird, even on a surface level it's fundamentally lovely to shame people for something they have absolutely no control over, and when you think it through it completely goes against the supposed message. They're rightfully decrying outdated gender norms that are leading to them being disadvantaged on the labor market, and this somehow involves...reinforcing traditional gender norms about what it means to be truly masculine and virile in a physical sense. It doesn't sit well with me, even as a provocative troll move.

I guess it's the same problem I have when people go on about how Nazis are usually the worst examples of the white race. That is true, and I suppose it exposes their personal hypocrisy, but does it really matter beyond that? Their ideas would still be abhorrent even if they actually were all blue-eyed, tall, blonde, square-jawed Aryan übermenschen. At a basic level, those are not valid criteria to judge a human being outside of Tinder. That's the entire point.

Not sure how things are where you live, but over here, speeding deaths are disproportionately young men, and it's tied to toxic masculinity. So trying to take the manliness out of the activity does indeed make sense, imo.

It combats the fascists as individuals, which can be useful, but it does not combat their ideas. In fact, it implicitly reinforces their preconceptions and values, as even their opponents gleefully use those to judge them.

It's why I never liked that comic book image that goons are always posting, with the handsome protagonist effortlessly berating some hapless white supremacists, who are inexplicably just standing around and letting him do it for some reason. Oh, this man has no chin? So what? I don't care about his chin, or lack thereof, in this context. That's not why I would hate someone like that. I'm not evaluating him as a sexual partner, and I wouldn't suddenly start nodding my head in agreement if he did have a powerful Aryan jaw or whatever.
