In 2019, during the first Trump administration, Ken Cuccinelli, whom Trump appointed as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, revised a line from the poem in support of the administration's "public charge rule", which would have rejected would-be immigrants who lacked adequate income and education to support themselves. Cuccinelli would have rewritten the caveat as, "Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge". He later suggested that the "huddled masses" should be European, and he downplayed the poem as "not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty."

I find your point of disregarding American vs British pronunciation whilst regarding American vs British spelling a bit strange
Yes, that was my point, kinda 🤔
That will probably end bad even if it was a banana pointed at a cop
Okay, so I was wrong
Edit: it doesn't even state that it should be close to usable, just that it resembles closely enough. So I admit to being wrong but now I don't understand your point of it being almost a firearm
Wow, just wow
An armed shoplifting suspect in Colorado barricaded himself in a stranger's suburban Denver home in June 2015. In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors.
courts have long held that police cannot be on the hook for property damage caused in the process of trying to make an arrest.
The suspect in the case, who was wanted in connection with shoplifting, was taken into custody after a 19-hour standoff. More than 100 officers from agencies around the Denver area responded to the incident.
Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech's house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. Eventually, SWAT officers entered the home and apprehended him.
City officials paid Lech's family $5,000 in compensation
This is an amazing story, I'm sure it's not the only one, but an impressive nevertheless
A picture of [allegedly] mother, sitting behind a young girl with a contempt smile. The girl also smiles as she looks into an open red book titled ‘ʜᴏʟʏ ʙɪʙʟᴇ’
Overtext:
Ezekiel 23:20
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." [seems to be cited from New International Version]
That is assuming they were not using a screen reader that just read ‘image, Ezekiel 23:20’ to them, which is current alt text
Do colour Vs color/ catalogue Vs catalog etc... sound different phonetically to you also?
To be fair, those different spellings denote different variants of the language, and these words are pronounced differently in British and American English. So yeah, perceiving those as if those sound different is a normal thing, I guess
Edit: ironically, miaow and meow make an identical sound, according to Cambridge Dictionary: ˌmiːˈaʊ
They removed assembly support 3 days ago, too 🤣
Yeah, I didn't know Mint uses it and spent an hour trying to understand how to configure alsa and why my configuration looks correct but doesn't do what I want (swap front channels)
