Moderation is an even bigger embarrassment☕
Honestly, these debates go absolutely nowhere because once they're done, the fake personas come out of the woodwork to start banning people without a shred of shame. We've had plenty of chances to see this pattern play out firsthand.🙄

It just wouldn't work. Eventually, I lost my mind, moved all my critical files over to the D drive, wiped the C drive completely, and did a fresh install of everything. Now? It’s flying.
thanks for the advice

Firefox.
Alright, I'm going to give Malwarebytes a shot.
Thanks.

Oh, and yeah—I don't even touch Internet Explorer anymore, but I know it’s infected with that damn sweet page hijacker that I just can't seem to shake.
Stupid question here: could that mess with my other browsers too? Even though I don't actually use Explorer?

My apologies if I’ve wandered into the wrong subforum or if I'm asking something that’s been answered a thousand times already.
I've run into a bit of a wall.
I'm on a Verizon connection, clocked at about 4 Mbps. Here's the kicker: when I run a speed test, the numbers look perfectly fine. My hard drive is mostly empty—only about 30% full—and Kaspersky says there isn't a single virus in sight. RAM is plenty.
I also run CCleaner regularly to keep things tidy. On paper, everything looks totally fine, which is why I'm stuck.
This sluggishness is driving me absolutely insane. Trying to load a site like the New York Post can take a full minute; sometimes I can't even get the LA Times to pull up, or even Google.

🤔

What should I try next? Where do I even start looking to fix this mess?
Thanks in advance.

Whoever finds it, keeps it.
I’m actually pretty jealous—owning your own private island? That’s the dream.😁

Daniel Ward87 got flagged for this one:

torrio said:There’s definitely a political angle behind this, just as much as a spiritual one. For those identifying as Americans but following Orthodox traditions, this represents political independence—finally being able to practice their faith freely within an American Orthodox church. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if some Mexicans who are true believers found solace here too; unlike the state-run institutions, this offers actual spirituality instead of that criminal, ultra-nationalist fascism.

Yet, nobody flagged these posts:

Cody said:That’s what I was thinking; they were drinking blood just like you guys; they did it from prisoners while you did it from some Jewish zombie...🙂

Cody said:Exactly, just like the Jews back in the 1st century when they invented that whole Jewish zombie religion...

So, I have to ask: is making fun of the Catholic Church allowed here, but saying anything against the Orthodox Church is off-limits? Is this because of the moderator's own background, or is there some other reason for the double standard? 🤷

You aren't going to blow up a friendship just by admitting you're interested. If anything, it might actually strengthen things.
