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.
My answer depends on whether the country you’re going to has an extradition treaty with the United States.
Close the door firmly after you leave.
So others can’t get out? So others still can’t come in? So we don’t let out all the AC?

this has been a Desilu presentation.
I assumed for closure, to put it behind you after you leave.
Vandalise something
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.

Were you just on H1-B status the entire time?
I… don’t quite feel comfortable sharing the full details, but F-1; I have submitted a green card application too but no way it’s gonna pass now. I might find an opportunity to write about it a bit more in the future
Oh no worries, I was just curious as someone who’s familiar with the process. No need to elaborate further if you’re not comfortable sharing. Good luck with your future endeavors!
Eat some good barbeque.
Wipe your feet on the way out.
I don’t suppose you’d be up for a political assassination or two…?
Maybe go visit the Statue Of Liberty, before it gets melted down.
Along with the handful of political assassinations, how do they feel about kids in the line of fire? Cause there’s this scumbag that always carries a small meat shield. Some people would prefer not to hurt lil meat shield, but I personally see it as a small price to pay to keep a fascist out of power.
Take a picture of “The New Colossus” in particular. I doubt people in the future will believe it was really there.
It’s such a beautiful poem too.
Brings a tear to my eye when I read it, but unfortunately not for the reasons Emma Lazarus may have hoped for when she penned it 😢
The price of copper is $4.44 per pound. Lady liberty is composed of 176,000 lbs of copper. Melting her down would be worth $781,440 which is less than it would cost to dismantle and melt her down. Basically she’s not worth the trouble.
It’s not a cost issue, she’s a DEI hire.
You tell that to a tweaker with a van.
You finally did it, you melted it, you maniacs!
Statue of France**
Visit some national parks if you can (while they still exist).
The Grand Canyon is amazing
Sag zum Abschied leise “Servus”.
This surely varies by state, but in Alaska, for example, I’m told Japanese vacationers LOVE to try out guns. So, if you can rent a gun on a range, shooting off weapons is the most American thing I can think to do before you leave.
A firing range is a whole lot more fun than one would expect.
Honestly, if you have a chance go to Washington DC the museums are beautiful. If you’re leaving permanently, you probably will never see them again.
Honestly, even if they’re not leaving permanently, who knows how much longer the Smithsonian will last if things keep going the way they are.
The Museum of African-American history is already on the chopping block for having content that does not paint the US in a good light.
I wish I was fucking joking about that. The proper way to be remembered well is by doing good things, not by having orange hitler demand that the history of bad things be erased.
Obviously this is entirely dependent on where you’re moving to, but I struggled to find the following when living abroad:
- good (American-style) pizza
- good Mexican food
- good BBQ
- certain ice cream flavors (like cherries jubilee/cherry garcia)
- wide open spaces completely devoid of people
- large-group events of a boisterous and goofy nature
- certain types of museums/educational facilities (such as good zoos/wildlife rehab open to the public and interactive science museums)
If you learn to cook, you can have those foods anywhere you move.
Again, depending on where in the world you are, you may not have the equipment nor access to ingredients necessary to make these properly. You might be able to approximate, but it won’t be as good, which is the entire point of my comment.
American pizza requires a pizza oven or regular oven with a steel/stone (or dish for Detroit-style pizza), specific types of cheese, and depending on your preference, specific toppings; these may not be available abroad. In some countries, ovens are not considered standard kitchen equipment; good luck making decent pizza on the stovetop.
Similarly, really good BBQ requires special equipment that even most American homes don’t have, and requires a good deal of outdoor space (otherwise you risk smoking out yourself/your neighbors).
Mexican food is more flexible in terms of equipment, but ingredients may be hard to source (especially spices).
For ice cream you might struggle to find the right add-in ingredients depending on what flavor you’re trying to make, but again, the biggest issue is equipment. You can make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker, but it seems like more hassle than it’s worth and still requires some equipment and decent freezer space (fwiw I’ve never done it before; maybe it’s easier than it sounds).
It is not easier than it sound.
You need freezer space which would mean to usually run your freezer half empty and recipes calling for a ice cream maker will require an ice cream maker. There is no way around it and ice cream maker were about the same in the middle age. Just not powered electrically.
You might need a brick oven though (or at the very least, a pizza oven) if you want that pizza to compare to the good shit you can get pretty much anywhere in the Northeast US.
Yup I do good (to our family’s taste anyway) pizza in about 40 minutes from scratch to eating with just:
- flour
- water
- yeast
- sugar (I pre feed the least in hot water for 5 minutes)
- salt
- olive oil
- homemade crust spices (salt, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, etc )
- maranara or pizza sauce (might be harder to find a good one abroad, not sure)
- cheeses (or not for my wife)
- basil leaves in season (we grow enough in mid summer, but buy it occasionally otherwise)
Finding the cheese and toppings might be harder, but it’s often just frozen broccoli, bell peppers, onions and roni.
American style pizza
frozen broccoli
You have exactly ten seconds to get the fuck out of my comment section
It’s more like neopolitan pizza that I make, and sometimes I do proper high temp thin stretchy crust type too, more like I’ve seen in Italy.
And I thaw the broccoli first before cooking it, but it doesn’t burn the tips as much when it’s cold and the oven is at 500 (I’m still working out building a brick oven in the back yard someday).
Your first three sum up to:
- Italian food but worse
- Mexican food but worse
- Food that’s probably better in most other places
I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG
You will not find good bbq. Take the L and move on…
You will find the greatest cuisine ever witnessed on this planet depending on your taste.
A clay pot in Morocco, a grandma’s house in Toledo, a random eel cooked up in Tunisia…
Just as good as byob bbq in Austin TX.
I think that’s a myth. I’ve had the best BBQ in Houston and it’s the same as a BBQ joint here in Calgary.
“Calgary”
Don’t be taking trash…
Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s called Toolshed and they make competition style BBQ. It’s really amazing.
Let’s bring it!
I also like to think the downvotes mean I have awakened some sort of Calgary dragon… don’t get me started on how Edmonton Oilers are supreme.
Oilers? Didn’t you say not to bring up trash? 😁
Usually end up at Hayden or Comery Block. Will have to check this out.
I hear to find the best BBQ in Texas you need to find a restaurant attached to a rinky-dink gas station.
I had some crazy good barbecue in Tokyo.
Korean bbq is the shaznatz.
That’s different! And awesome. Slow cooking over hours is dif from sear that bad boy at the table…
But shit they are both tasty…
