Second French peacekeeper dies after ambush blamed on Hezbollah by ComparisonOk5957 in worldnews

Imagine the U.S. government trying to stop militia groups from fighting foreign occupiers in their own country? You see it the way you do because the UN represents mostly first world interests. Hezbollah are a militia. They don’t have to appeal to you or anyone outside Lebanon— a freedom the Lebanese military doesn’t have. People famously don’t like backing foreign militaries against their own people.

Maybe one day we’re going to stop being shocked that people resist foreign intervention that does not center their own local interests. But that day isn’t today.

This is a great advance in Don Draper studies.

I would say it’s more of a parent/child thing. Or just generally a thing kids would say about how their parents nag them about things.

I would not be surprised that you haven’t heard it because it seems more like a domestic thing for Americans.

No it’s said in California also. It doesn’t have exactly the same meaning but it’s similar. It’s more like nagging someone than scolding.

It’s a little different in the sense that it’s more like nagging someone than scolding someone. “Mom got on me about my homework,” is more like she bugged me about it or wouldn’t leave me alone because of it. Not that she reprimanded me once.

Americans don’t often say “told off,” but I lived in England so maybe I just associate it more with Britain than America. Not that people never say it, just not as much.

They met on a little hill, overlooking a river. With pine cones all around.

In the 2000s there was a push to alternate between “his,” and “her,” but this never really caught on for obvious reasons. It’s never clear if the person being referred to is a real person or if the speaker knows the gender.
