Since this wasn’t apparent the last time I asked… no, I’m actually not a US citizen or green card holder (permanent resident). Just happened to be in this country for a long time due to career reasons.
Go to a country which is better than the US. So skip North Korea, Somalia, Palestine. Then you’re good.
just go to rUSsia. Won’t even see the difference.
Both the gulags and the front look nice this time of year.

is it really all that? the ads promise existential horror, but I never thought it’d deliver.
It’s an incredible art exhibit. Extremely inventive and fun. I have never been but I know people in America who have, and zero of them have been underwhelmed or disappointed. It’s my number one desire if I ever find myself near there.
I had not heard of this until reading your comment, and I’ve just started down the rabbit hole… This place looks fucking incredible
Take me with you.
Unironically… I’ve basically hinted at everyone I know on ways to apply for EU-based science jobs if they are interested (surprisingly… a lot of ppl are not)
I’m still being optimistic though, really hope the US can somehow pull out a miracle
I’m interested in some of these hints
Sorry it came to this. We sane few who remain will miss you; we will undoubtedly be worse for losing the diversity of thought (and snarky humor) expats like you bring.
The best advice in the thread so far was to freeze your credit. And I’d add: don’t assume you’ll never want to come back just because your current self doesn’t forsee it. For your own sake, don’t burn bridges out of spite.
Yosemite
Grand Canyon
Yellowstone
Avenue of the Giants
Add to this list any national parks you were thinking about visiting. After this administration, they may not be around anymore.
I’m just imagining them filling up Grand Canyon just because.
Get a few public library cards. Then abroad you can use it to borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free.
Those libraries won’t be around much longer, unless heavily curated and basically useless.
Mine are 95 percent county funded in a blue zone. State is already trying to lay down the law only to discover they don’t give much in the way of funds. No bucks no leverage. Only law they passed got overturned.
Libraries are not a US only thing.
Libraries with access to the enormous amount of English language content are usually only found in English speaking countries, though.
Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).
I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.
Understandable, just another reason to learn the country’s language then.
He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.
She, but thank you, this was my point exactly.

Get an FBI background check, and get it apostilled. Easy to do from your local post office in the US, difficult and expensive to do outside the us, and you will need it for many things you might want to do in other countries
This is a pretty important step!
Why would you need an FBI background check outside of the US?
Last dinner must be at five guys
Alternatively you can just have your last dinner with five guys
Why not both?
Or hear me out
Last lunch at five guys with five guys
Spend the night having Wendy’s at Wendy’s (not the restaurant)
Or! Your last dinner is five guys.
Pork sausage!
I can’t tell which way this comment is going, but Five Guys is the most I’ve spent for the worst French fries I’ve ever had in my life, and the burger is “meh” grade. Burger King does a better burger and fries faster and cheaper.
I spent £17 on a burger and chips at five guys due to peer pressure. I still haven’t mentally recovered.
