We have no context here but I didn't read the caption as being 100% sincere. You don't read a little hyperbole in it?

I don't remember. It's usually only brought out for celebrations where there's lots of alcohol.

Wikipedia page

Hennessy has a long-standing relationship with African American culture, especially hip hop. It has been described as "synonymous with rap music and African Americans, who are the brand's major consumers and advocates". While music, especially the 2004 2Pac song "Hennessy" has been credited with popularising the drink, some historians have pointed to a much older relationship, which began when African American servicemen encountered cognac in France during World War I and World War II.

Hennessy has actively pursued this consumer group for decades. It targeted minority audiences as early as the 1950s, when it placed advertisements in African American magazines like Ebony and Jet, used African American models, and hired African American employees. By some estimates more than two thirds of Hennessy sold in the United States is consumed by African Americans. It is sometimes referred to as "Henny".

Hennessy appears frequently in the lyrics of popular music, and by one estimate the words "Hennessy" or "cognac" are referenced in more than 1,000 songs.

Soulseek is good for music preservation. Try Nicotine+ client or Seeker on Android.

Thank you for clarifying. I that case I hope with the last of our energy and fuel we find the billionaires and CEOs and enjoy one last good meal.

Wow, that was one of the things that drew it to me in the first place. I break phones too frequently to feel comfortable leaving everything to them.

If there's a benefit to such a tool would bad actors have already developed one?

I'm still not sure how I feel about deliberately misnaming something as an insult.

What? On the highway the limit is 110km/h in some places here (divided highway) and it's pretty standard for everyone to be going 5-10km over the limit.

done to sustain our society.

Is our society as it currently stands worth sustaining? I think the status* quo needs changing. Why work harder for the same paycheque?
