@duolingo these were taken at 7:54, 7:59 and 8:02.
What language or whatever is Gillespie using that garners that number of XP in such a bewilderingly short space of time?
Makes it difficult to compete when I’ve been on for about 15 minutes and got max XP each level for 570
You know when a bully gets increasingly agitated because their normal bullying tactics don’t seem to be working? This quite a significant scale for that to be playing out…
This morning I read Luke 14, where Jesus warns against taking the place of honour. Then I read the news and saw that US banknotes will soon have @realDonaldTrump’s signature on. 🤷♂️
The power he wields is deeply troubling both to many American citizens and to allies globally. He shows no real interest in others, save for what they can provide him with. His blinkered selfishness puts us all at increased risk, threatening to tear apart deep, historic ties.
If the @NobelPrize ended up awarding anything at all to the playground bully, @realDonaldTrump, it would be an utter travesty.
NATO isn’t about self-preservation of a single nation, but about the mutual support of the entire bloc.
There is nothing peaceful about bullying allies.
So @realDonaldTrump failed to bully Russia into stopping the war, so is now trying to bully Ukraine into capitulating…
I don’t understand how this is anything other than rewarding Russia for an armed invasion of another sovereign country.
Actually a bit heavy-hearted about Trump’s plan which simply hands chunks of Ukraine to an aggressor.
If Russia invaded the US, I don’t imagine he’d cede Alaska to end the war. So why is he pushing Ukraine to give up territory. Bullying your way to peace doesn’t seem peaceful…
