It first checks your browser. Then you establish a login account. Works fine here.

What a doofus he was. His death has done nothing to affect the climate.

People who worry about climnate change and are not just using it for power and to shut down opposition are depressed anyway and some will be suicidal. They don’t die for climate change. They die because they are suicidal and all it takes , if anything outside themselves, is a suggestion

Why would anyone talk to something that wasn’t a real person?

Truth be told, I've never met a FReeper in person. Everyone could be bot on this board.

'Cept Laz....no way any AI could make up his posts.

And Sam also has human posts.

It wasn’t the AI that ‘encouraged’ him to sacrifice himself his skull meat was already in that mode.

Can they host this chatbot on ActBlue or DNC servers?

It’s a good start. Now we need more climate morons to chat with the AI program.

What is it with Belgians and suicide?

Renunciation of their Christian heritage.

I’ve suggested that to the ecofreaks. They still decline and so their actions show they want the world to end.
