This week's poll was suggested by Nekomikoto. Some scanlations have translator notes that include URL's in them. They're normally about some little known tidbit. Do you ever use those URLs?

Looks like it's split down the middle in the kill or be killed
This week's poll was suggested by Desert. It's a what-if question about how you'd act to your favorite character if their goal was to kill you, and failure meant their own death

Gotta rope you in with that first chapter! It's like how the opening sentence of the book needs to grab the attention of the reader.
This week's poll was suggested by punchmanga. Do you think reading the first chapter is enough to evaluate a series? Do you judge a book by its cover?

Hopefully you guys seek out assistance!
This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. This is more to bring awareness to the issue and see some solidarity with the manga-reading community. Do not feel like you need to post a comment about your own situation if you aren't comfortable discussing it. Your choice in the poll cannot be tied back to you.
Edit: Added "Other" and "Multiple" as choices

Most eggs, I like it with salt. But with hard boiled eggs, I actually prefer soy sauce.
This week's tasty (?) poll was suggested by Transdude1996. Do you use condiments on your eggs? And if so, what? Unfortunately, you can only choose one, so pick wisely. Just assume your favorite type of eggs, whether that be hard boiled, poached, sunny side up, etc.
