    Time to change jobs. This year I was given responsibility for 5 countries to run strategic advertising activities & analyses for local companies. With responsibility for annual goals in this area. Countries where marketing managers ask me, a supposedly supporting person, who sets the budgets...

    USA Politics

    Russia is not a peaceful country and that should be enough for everyone. For years, Putin has been talking about returning to the borders of the past, i.e. indirectly suggesting an attack on other countries such as Lithuania. It is a shame that the US is becoming more and more fraternized with...

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?

    the trooper. It was fun but for last 15 years I would literally prefer any other song in its place in the setlist.

    I'm listening to this song for couple of days now and still can't decide if I like it or not

    Mental Health Thread

    Everyone needs time to take care of themselves sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that - no one can say that taking care of yourself is 'bad'. However, I understand the pangs of conscience - sometimes we feel like we should be with someone all the time because otherwise we fail as a parent...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Well... the question is - is there any plan for future studio projects? Because that means nothing if they don't plan to record album.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    You're right. I was talking about more complex situations. John slept with Alex's wife. Alex hit John. Now - when we talk about how Alex shouldn't have hit John some people say 'But the truth is somewhere in the middle!' Nope. That's why I think the 'truth is 50-50' argument is so dangerous...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Truth is truth. Saying something else is kind of dangerous. As a curiosity - such statements are also often an example of propaganda aimed at devaluing the word 'truth'. It is easier to sow confusion when 'truth' is not always 'truth' but in 1 case out of 10 or 5 out of 10 something else...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Please remember that propaganda is not (only) telling lies. Propaganda is also presenting facts in a selective way or framing them according to your own discretion. For example, if a country agreed to have another country's army stationed there and we present it as a negative action of the...

    Now Playing (Video Games)

    35+ hours in Red Dead Redemption 2 and I'm still somewhere in middle of third act (out of 6 I think). Game is great. All praises were well earned. Game have some issues with controlls on a horse but other than that - it is a shame that I didn't played earlier.

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    I think the biggest problem with NPFTD is that it's an album released after a few strong albums. If it was somewhere else in the discography, the perception would probably be different. On the other hand, it's hard for me to hate an album that brought Janick into the band.

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    For me - strong album. I liked how raw it was and songs (in most cases) were good. I'm not happy with the assasin (CHORUS!) or mother russia but other than that - I like it very much, title song is one the best in my mind. Solid 8/10 album.

    Rant Thread

    I'm completely fed up with the misconception that knowing how to use a program makes you an 'expert' in a given field. As if knowing Excel makes someone an accountant and knowing Word makes someone a writer. Silly, right? However, in marketing, if you know (averagely) the Google Ads panel...

    European Politics

    The basic problem is the definition of 'good' or 'bad'. No bad person thinks of themselves as a 'bad' person. Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, young age is not a decisive factor here. The problem is that social media distracts young people from education, actively weakening the community...

    Run For Your Lives Tour: Which Songs from No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark Are in the Setlist?

    Press release is speaking about 'first nine albums' so I will say that they will play at least one song from NPFTD.

    Now Playing (Video Games)

    Baldur's Gate 3 finally clicked with me and my god it is so good. At first, the game bored me after about an hour. However, it turned out that when I got through it (4th attempt) the game incredibly captivated me with its freedom and wealth of possibilities. Are you attacked by a group of...
