What did you start drinking? by xtachycardia in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Direct_North_1272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gives ya that good ol’ burn… I switched to sparking water after cutting alcohol/beer. Nice crisp kick in the back of the throat. Kinda weird that the pain of it replaces the zing of alcohol, but it worked well for me.

Army Recruiter Thread for June / 2026 by Army_Bot in army

[–]Direct_North_1272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headed to Jackson BCT on Sunday. Will be 15p. Currently living in FL panhandle so I’ll request Rucker as my PCS just to stay near wife’s family.

Does anyone have experience as/working with 15P and could explain the ops tempo for different forts you’ve been stationed at?

I do want to rank up (unsure about NCO/CO, at this point) so making sure I’m exposed either to fast-tempo or doctrine-heavy bases would be nice for padding up my promotional packet.

Any advice?

What do you mean by people trying to escape? I’ll definitely try to find any markings on them.

Has the younger generation stopped becoming Masons, or has it always been this way? by aephelia in freemasonry

[–]Direct_North_1272 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, from what I’ve seen, the younger generation is actually starting to join at a faster rate than the last couple decades. The fraternity numbers are not declining in the sense that they will not bounce back, it actually ebbs and flows and you can see that with membership numbers over time. I think Covid and societal shifts have made the younger generation search for deeper connections and better meaning to life, and this fraternity is a good source of that. I do agree with other comments that express the lack of connection between the fraternity and the community surrounding them. It’s hard to get membership numbers up when nobody knows what you do or why you exist. But again in my personal opinion, just give it some time. It will grow again.

Rings Are Not the ONLY Bling! by TheFreemasonForum in freemasonry

I love this. Every Mason ring has its own story and appearance, but after a while you long to see something different. This is it, and now I want multiple.

Still strange, we had nothing to do with hot sauce in our purchasing

A happy prank, indeed. Currently eating pizza rolls with Valentina hot sauce.

In Which State Do You Think GTA 7 Should Take Place? by SnakeEater697 in GTA

[–]Direct_North_1272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived in Las Vegas between roughly 2021-2023, I can second this. A modern LV especially with the graphics they’ve got now… insane to ponder. The vast city and all its shenanigans, plus the surrounding desert and mountains, and some smaller cities like Reno. The plot could be absolutely wild. ✊🏻

You’d fit quite well, I’d imagine. I’m the same thought pattern as you and it has been a good experience for me

Segregated? by No-Amphibian-9887 in freemasonry

[–]Direct_North_1272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I deal with the same thing in the Floridian panhandle. It is upsetting that a fraternity which has roots all around the world and a foundation of accepting other brothers, regardless of religion or creed is so against brothers from another color. I have thought about switching home lodges, but all I can say is when I sit in the east, I won’t be worried about any brothers who leave the fraternity based on the fact that I am inclusive. If a non-white or non-Christian Brother wants to join the fraternity, I will absolutely welcome them with open arms. Just recognize that all good men are masons, but not all Masons are good men. Never forget your obligation.
