I really cannot understand adults who need a night light

This week's poll was suggested by VawX. Is there a light on when you normally sleep? To be honest, I can't imagine trying to sleep with a light on anymore. It's hard for me to sleep without complete darkness now.

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Would you wait for the high quality scanlation that takes weeks, or would you prefer the low quality scanlation that comes out instantly?
Choices:
Slow, high quality release - votes: 1766 (78.7%)
Fast, low quality release - votes: 477 (21.3%)
There were 2243 total votes.

Oh wow, the slower, high quality release won this time. Maybe with the increase in bad quality, you guys are finally not liking it as much?

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. It's the age of question of speed vs. quality. I believe most of the past times we've done similar polls it was speed that won. You guys just want the content
