The German question "Was sollβs?" seems to mean "What's the point of that?"
But actually, it doesn't ask for anything.
It means the end of all questions is reached.
More precisely, it can mean:
- meh
- never mind
- so what
- whatever
- go to hell
Weird? Yeah.
Was soll's.
Enjoy our language!

the GOP is fucking nuts if they think a THIRTY PERCENT national sales tax is going to have even a shred of popularity with literally anyone except their mega-rich donors. i mean, they know it won't pass the Senate regardless, but what a fucking nutty move anyway. it's a clear loser of a proposal among their base.

@w7voa this βfree speakβ thing seems to be print any lie, any scientifically invalid conspiracy theory as though it has the same weight as peer reviewed expert opinion.

The Colorado baker who refused to bake a cake celebrating a gender transition because of their βChristian faithβ just lost their appeal
Donβt celebrate yet. The Supreme Court gave him a partial victory after refusing to make a gay couple's wedding cake.
So, to all of you saying βwhy donβt they just get a cake somewhere else?β
Youβre the same people who say βwhy donβt colored people eat at the place across the street?β
This is discrimination, honey.
This song is so fantastic, how can I have completely forgotten about it for more than three decades?

Hi, I'm David.
I do marketing and creative for Archie McPhee, a toy and novelty company in Seattle, Washington. I have helped develop and launch over 3,000 products, including the Yodelling Pickle and Handerpants. I write all the copy for Archie McPhee.
I have a murder of crows that I am very devoted to.
I love deep dives on tons of different topics, such as toy history, novelty history, cults, outsider music, and weird stuff.

"Be tolerant of everything but intolerance."
You aren't mourning a person, you're mourning a performance.
In The Truman Show, everyone that watched the 'end' of the show cried - Some cried because it was the end of something that they felt personally connected to, others cried because Truman was finally free to be himself.
We have a term, 'deadname', to represent the names we were given, parts we played, knowingly or not.
The part I played is over. The character, dead. What a miserable run.
