remote year

A stupid group of mostly American entitled douchbags (they call themselves digital nomads) who travel around the world for 1 year to post basic Instagram pics and hook up with naive local girls. The reason for this is they are all sad losers who can’t get anybody at home. They do nothing to improve their society at home and bring their trash entitled attitude to the local countries, thinking everybody has to serve and respect them. Usually have white god complex and think they are hot shit. Most have a laptop job in IT or design and work 2 hours everyday at cafe, ordering overpriced coffee and avocado toasts. Occasionally go on Tinder dates and ask to split the bill.

Rick: Hey is that a new Remote Year guy?
Morty: Yeah sick basic loser who overpays to travel cos he’s too lonely all the time
