would you buy a real or bootleg figurine? I'm thinking of buying a figma character, but I'm not sure whether to get the bootleg from China, or the real thing from Japan. If you don't know what it is, it's basically a collectible action figure line with exchangeable accessories and parts. bootleg: ~$26 real: ~$55 As a price difference, the 2 reals I'm looking to purchase are $121.48 For the similar 2 fakes, $49.67 They do not have fake for all of the pieces I want. For 4 of the real pieces I want, It'll cost me a total of $369.51. Free shipping on everything/tax included. It's a significant difference, not to mention I'm trying for get 4 nendoroids at the same time which run for $30-50 apiece ;~; Real: Has resale value (will resell w/ almost

10 gallon tank Any idea what to put in it? I don't want to feed it live food. I've had multiple varieties of fish/snails, hermit crabs, and a baby turtle (nursed then released). I've also owned a hamster and currently have a cat. I've cared for birds for an extended period of time (don't like them). The point is, I'm a seasoned pet owner, so no need to worry about animal abuse or anything like that. All of my pets have been kept healthy and have lived up to their expected lifespans or longer. I was thinking of a mud or musk turtle since I still lots of left over equipment. I prefer something I could handle and is more "human" friendly. Any suggestions? The empty tank is killing me. :~(

New placement matches So far played 1, lost 1 I just started ranked this season and I'm already hating ranked. I just lost my first placement ranked game because of a bottom lane Vayne with ~80 cs at 40 mins and a Darius who went 0/14/~2. No one on my team had higher than 100 cs by 40 minutes (except for me) compared to the other team who had 200+ per player (excluding supp/jungle) :S The only players on our team who went positive was our mid and support (LOL). I jungled and its hard to jungle when all 3 of your lanes are losing and pushed up y'know? I assisted every kill our team got even though I went negative. ._. I hate you LoL. I wish I was better at video games. Someday I will wake up with hands/a mindset like Doublelift. :~( So how a

Facebook friends I see people with 2,000+ friends but in reality the human mind can only maintain 150 relationships at once. All in all, if you have lets say, 200+ friends, you probably don't communicate with some on a daily basis if at all. How many do you actually talk to on a daily basis? How many do you say "hi" to on a daily basis? How many do you just know by name/face? How many are added from "mutual friends"? Is this a good thing? Why do we add people we don't know? Why is facebook so popular along with other social media? When you think about it, it would just be easier to just text/take face-to-face/call the people we actually get along with (and have more meaningful conversations) instead of posting a (shallow

Weird sleep habits For the past few nights I've been staying up till 2 am (a common symptom of homework, project, and test/quiz overdose), and waking up at 6 am in order to get to school on time. Oddly, I feel more awake than I do when I can get 6 hours of sleep. Experts say we need ~9 hours of sleep per night, but absolutely NO ONE I know sleeps that much ever on a school night/Sunday. Even weirder, my grades seem to be reaching an all time low even though I feel more awake... Although sleep deprivation has never been new to me, I feel like I've been "getting used" to it (No, I don't drink coffee, energy drinks, etc.)- but its taking a toll on my problem solving/application side of my brain. Now, I've passed out standing up in pu
