No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

it's much easier than you think it's going to be and is practically all upside.
I've been an expat for a decade and a half.
the other commenters seem to be offering incorrect theories, and I'll fact-check those
If you have a company offering you a job, they'll be sponsoring your work visa.
If you want to open a bank account in europe, you'll be able to with your work visa.
you will not be "on the hook" for US taxes if you are permanently relocating, living outside of the US for more than 330 days per year means that you still have to file US tax paperwork, but you don't have to pay $125,000 USD of earned income per year.
as for American chocolate? its maybe the worst chocolate in the world. Americans have terrible chocolate.
American chocolate is to real chocolate what American cheese is to real cheese. an ersatz barnyard embarrassment.
there are no American goods you'll want that you can't get or find a substitute for abroad, Im half convinced that comment is satire for using American chocolate as an example.
If you have any specific questions, go ahead and ask.
Good luck! whatever the deal is, moving out of that country is the right thing to do right now.
The food thing is BS. There's a lot of stuff you won't be able to buy, even just turn to proximity to other countries.
Good luck finding proper Mexican or Jamaican food, even southern BBQ in most parts of the world.
Not a reason to not do it, but I think you're looking through rose coloured glasses there and I'm not even a yank.
"The food thing is BS"
are you replying to someone else? I didn't talk about being able to find food, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
"There's a lot of stuff you won't be able to buy,"
that's absurd. go ahead and give me an example of things you can't buy in Europe that is available in the Americas.
also, since you brought up food, I should mention that you are completely wrong again.
like you couldn't be more wrong.
especially with Mexican and Jamaican, two extremely popular cuisines.
there are immigrants everywhere, and you can find "proper"(false category anyway) mexican and jamaican food throughout Europe.
You're obviously not a traveler, and are talking out your elbow, so sit this one out.
If I have a remote job in the US but also have dual citizenship with the country I'm moving to do I still have to pay taxes on that income or does my employer have to do anything for my move.
you always have to file taxes if you are a US citizen, you rarely have to file taxes as a digital nomad in other countries, but you'd have to check depending on the country.
the taxes you pay in one country will offset the taxes you pay in the other, so you won't be paying double taxes and you can choose the more favorable tax home for you.
If you are outside of the US for more than 330 days out of the year, you don't pay earned income tax on the first $125,000(they update the number annually).
your employer in the US doesn't have to do anything with the country you're moving to.
