After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers ... so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving ... which is also a thing BTW.

I have to admit, that is easily the cutest tank I've ever seen!

(I've seen Girls Und Panzer, and read everything Tank Girl, so I'm an expert!)

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.

Can't speak for other games, but there's a LOT of former truck drivers who play Snow Runner.

Back when I was working as a forklift driver, when I broke my leg and was stuck at home on the sofa I really enjoyed driving the forklift around in GTA5 and just moving palettes​ around.

Too busy doing important stuff, like taking children away from their parents

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

Hey, my wife and her sister moved away about 12 years ago ... it was absolutely the right thing for both of them.

Anyone even halfway intelligent is better off moving away from Hungary. I feel sorry for those who can't speak a foreign language and thus are stuck there.

The Borg became a metaphor for colonialism, I think, with assimilation being an "improvement" for it's victims.

Every world has the equivalent of Trump supporters, I guess

The moral of this story is never start sorting out one bike before finishing the previous one ...
