Annotations* whoops

Genius's lyrics notations can be the funniest shit sometimes

Hoes Mad by Famous Dex lyrics: "If that's your girl, not sharing (no, no), that's past tense (skrrrt)

Annotation: "Not sharing" is actually present continuous tense, but the verse went so hard it changed the rules of English grammar.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Also for real I hate how there's this trend of trying to remove all the wires from everything, headphones, controllers, you name it. Wired shit always feels and works better and doesn't have the added cost of shit like bluetooth and a need for batteries or charging, but "WIRELESS IS THE FUTURE" smh

Like the overwhelming majority of people don't need a truck or a goddamn SUV, but the car companies make more per vehicle sold off of them because less stringent regulations, so they market the shit out of them.

Also Halo 3 was like *the* Gamestop game. One of the busiest midnight releases ever.
