Get absolutely fucked reefill

I can't say I really hate this. If a company is willing to maintain this so there is always free water alongside a purchase option, it doesnt seem so bad.

Because frankly a portion of my world looks like this right now: The corporations squeeze to get everything out of me, and a good portion of the populous want to make sure I can't have nice things by fucking everything up. A public fountain? Oh yeah that shit will get destroyed or stolen within a week.

The best part about this is that the thumbnail makes the device like a face that's very fed up with this shit.

This product is going to fail.

Anything that requires an app for payment is something I never use. No exceptions so far.

No Google Play or App Store?

Oh, I'm so sorry, no fresh water for you.

Smear something gross on the torment nexus button.

but tbf that costs money.
cooling down takes a lot of electricity and filters need replacement pretty frequently and they're not cheap.
doesn't justify a fucking subscription tho, this shoud just accept like a coin per cup or something

Remember the fountains we had back in middle school? If I could pay 2$ a month to get water from a fountain that the grossest kids in school didn't stick their mouths around, I probably would

I honestly don't have a problem with this so long as the tap water is clean and drinkable. Everyone should have free access to clean drinking water. If it has to be filtered and chilled to a crisp cool temperature for you to drink it? Yeah, you can pay for that. That's a luxury.

Refrigeration takes energy and filters produce waste so I see it as fair charging a price for convenience.
