if they hire a receptionist to deflect retards like the one in the post, then if the receptionist is doing their job, the OP wouldn't get past that stage at all.

secretary? the guy is calling the HR dept and getting an HR person on the phone. it's not that hard to check your own department's scheduled interviews. and wdym 'automated'? how would an automated interview accepted/scheduled email even work? someone would still have needed to set the time and date.

the automated email will still have some log timestamped on their end

and then they ask who contacted you to schedule this and when and you can hang up before they find 0 records of this

how is it any different then? so long as the story content has nothing to do with transness?

public storytime for kids is a thing tho

China is at best a regionable power, that will never deploy beyond the sino-indian conflict, nor beyond the taiwan strait. it's an economic/industrial powerhouse, sure, but none of its modern day luxuries were brought about by military means, so the people are detached from the idea of armed conflict.

the US has a deep military culture, and its positioning on the world stage was brought by said culture, so any deployment, though sometimes met with resistance, will ultimately be accepted.

the DPRK has no aspirations past the DMZ, and is essentially forced into a defensive status quo, lest it lose the one 'backer' it has after china loses the SK market once seoul gets flattened. worth noting should either the north or the south gain control of the entire peninsula, US-China relations will collapse.

as far as the rest of the nukes go, russia is no longer relevant in any capacity, unless putin grows some balls and chucks a nuke at kiev. and china peaked 5-10 years ago, and has been stagnant at best ever since. and simply isnt militaristic enough to ever have a use for offensive nukes.

pakistan only has eyes for india, and indians love to feel relevant when the US/Russia pit them against china. beyond that, it's just israel.

the biggest nuclear threats to the western world are unironically the UK and France, seeing as islamists are infiltrating every level of society and government over there.

it's less so on an individual level, and more so on an organizational/national level.

with modern weapon power scaling it's rare to have such a discrepancy in power like the reference meme, while also an attack being worthwhile.

the world is quite literally might makes right, as the US can basically Dr Manhattan any upcoming new power.

>everything

no, just 'some things'.

fried dough sticks are more in line of 油条, with the second character literally meaning strip. the second character in 油饼 implies a more cookie-like shape, flat and circular. the former usually just deep fried sticks of dough i think, the latter being scallion pancake esque.

not relevant to the meme, just sharing.
