I'm trying to buy a car but I don't really know what I'm doing. I recently moved out of my parents' house and didn't have a vehicle beforehand.
Do I need to have insurance before I buy the car or can I close the deal on a vehicle but take possession of it after I get insurance? Am I retarded? Is insurance just general auto insurance or does it take the specific vehicle into question? How does financing work for someone with no credit? Am I retarded? Is it a good idea to buy a new car if I want something that will last a decent amount of time or would I be overpaying compared to something used that I could learn to maintain on my own? Am I retarded?

Why did I join the military? What was I thinking? I don't fit in. I don't enjoy my job. I'm fit and can apply my brain as needed in my work, but my heart isn't in it.

Since Random House is a Bertelsmann company since 98, any chance you're from Germany? Sorry, if that was mentioned somewhere already.
My question would be how you perceive the chances of getting through to an actual editor as a first time author without an agent. I understood that in the US, an agent is almost mandatory, not too sure about the situation in Germany.
When reading about the masses of manuscripts being sent to publishers, I assume a lot of sifting through the stuff is done by - what, interns? Secretaries? - who might fail to recognize the brilliance of the average /lit/ writer. I assume an agent is a sure-fire way to get directly to the decision-makers, but on the other hand, there are a lot of small agencies that might just end up on the same pile as unknown authors - do they?

Hey /lit/, I'm working on writing some sci-fi for submission to Analog or Asimov's, but I can't decide on what kind of story to write.

What kind of sci-fi stories would you guys want to read?
