PROBLEM: Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : I’m gonna to try to make this short. I joined the USCG over a year and a half ago so I could go to college without obtaining massive amounts of debt, obtain a steady paycheck and serve my country. After I’m out I want to be a police officer. I was told when I got to my unit that I would be set up with an educational service officer to start online classes, but that was never handled by my superiors as well as not having time too with our mission . My roommate who I was forced to live with was smoking and selling weed out of government housing, and when I finally worked up the nerve to say something about it I was entangled into the investigation, piss tested, and interrogated without any proof of me doing anything wrong. To top it all off, we went without pay all last month because of the government shutdown. It’s not that I don’t like my job, it’s just the USCG hasn’t held up they’re end of the bargain.  I’m tired of being 800 miles away from my family and fiancé doing a job I have no way out of.                 TLDR- I want out of the coastguard early, because they haven’t held up they’re end of the bargain for education and pay. 

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : This year, I joined the school choir. Our school has an annual tour for the choir where they usually visit places such as Europe, Spain, Latin America, etc. This has been a tradition for everyone the past 50ish years. However, due to complications, the usual director is gone this year and there have been 2 replacement teachers throughout the year, meaning we aren't as organized or confident. Despite this, the second teacher we had this year insists on having a tour to Nashville. There were 6 guys(small af) in the choir at the start of the year. Two dropped, and two guys don't want to go on tour, meaning there is me and another person going on tour(other guy is determined to go). Personally, I think that there is little point to going on tour with 2 guys and mediocre songs. But if I don't go on tour, I'm basically going to make it not happen for the choir, which is mostly filled with seniors that want this and might kill this tradition.

AITA for not wanting to go?

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : TL;DR : Aunt thinks that dark humor is discriminatory, I disagreed. She was on the verge of tears and now I don't know what to think of myself. Anyways, subscribe to Pewdiepie.

&amp;#x200B;

I was invited to have dinner with my aunt and grandmother at a restaurant, where we were just having a casual conversation about phones. My aunt brought up that she had an addiction to reading too much news, notably saying that she read the Wall Street Journal. I, being the idiot that I am, brought up how the WSJ was trying to make Pewdiepie look like a Nazi. I guess my intention of saying that was to make a point that the WSJ are a dis-credible news source (I guess?) She thought it wasn't funny to make Nazi jokes, in which I said that dark humor isn't for everybody. So we had this argument about dark humor.

&amp;#x200B;

 I was arguing that what we find funny doesn't mean we support what the joke states. If someone makes a joke about the holocaust, it doesn't mean that person believes the holocaust was right. My aunt disagreed and was offended that I thought "six million Jews died" was funny. She says that dark humor jokes are malicious and discriminatory, and I repeatedly disagreed. I think that context matters when a joke is told. Which leads me into my next point.

&amp;#x200B;

Everything has a potential to be funny. I said that subjects such as the holocaust or 9/11 *can* be funny, regardless of what we think of it at face-value. She thought I was insane for saying that and I, with regret, told her that she doesn't know what a joke is. I told her we can't control what we think is funny because we're all human. She responded by telling me it was immoral to support anyone who thinks it's funny to make jokes on the holocaust. And we kind of left it at that.

&amp;#x200B;

I realize now that I shouldn't have brought up the Pewdiepie/media drama. Looking back, it was kind of a stupid topic to begin with, but I'm just sitting here, typing this, and questioning why I have a tendency to make people cry. Am I the asshole?
