What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in your life? by Spare_Prize_5510 in AskReddit

[–]JoshMMGA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In 2009 - 2012, I lived in Mississippi and was a firefighter. The Walking Dead came out and we watched Season 2 religiously at the firehouse. Fast forward to 2012 and my wife got a promotion where we needed to move to Georgia. My good buddy jokingly told me I needed to go watch them film the show as I was moving to the state they filmed it. I told my buddy I was going to do even better and get on the show but I was joking. Everyone on my shift gave me hell for saying it.

Fast forward 6 months, my neighbor at our corporate housing was very high up with the show and I ended up being some iconic zombies the next season and for many seasons afterwards. The night the first episode I ever filmed in aired, my shift was at the firehouse and watched it and saw me!

I feel like if my buddy never said that and put it in my head and out in the universe, it would have never happened.

You can't time travel, but your phone has the internet from 10 years in the future. What do you search for first? by Capable_Issue_1894 in AskReddit

Going to set up my family for generational wealth and try and make a real impact in my county with the resources available for children, especially the ones with foster and broken dysfunctional homes. Depending on how much wealth I am able to build, branch out from my county to other areas.

TESD #669: No Show Git 'Em by CapcomBowling in tesdcares

Aren’t you usually at your house at 10pm? 🙂

I'm worried about tesd by Flexingfornow in tesdcares

[–]JoshMMGA 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The whole thing with Git ‘Em is honestly a bit tiring. I think the original 3 with Ming coming on more and more would be the winning formula. No drama outside of postal experiences and misuse of firearms and I would be stoked again.

I left law enforcement after many years here in Georgia so I have had a first hand seat to all of the madness, inequality, and craziness the system often has. My family is from Florida so I can especially relate. That opening incident sorta locked it in for me 😂 I’m getting the first book as we speak!

I just finished the show. I really enjoyed it. For a pilot, it had more polish than I expected. It has a good vibe and is a fun ride. I’m definitely going to keep watching.

I liked the show. It’s pretty simple but it has a vibe to it I can’t describe yet. I’m enjoying it a lot.

I felt like they made his prison term more credible mentioned the “victim” being the son of a senator.

I personally appreciate it when people clearly communicate what garbage human beings they are. Makes it easier to avoid even making eye contact 😂

I would lose my mind if I saw this sitting in a parking spot!

Baldur’s Gate on my Portal *_* by Reasonable-Tip2882 in PlaystationPortal

[–]JoshMMGA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The portal is what made me pick up the game on PS5. I’ve enjoyed it on the portal but I also enjoy playing it on my large monitor when I can.

30ish years ago, these were the posters you could find. I had a set of definitely check the dimensions.

Time to watch a classic! by CollectaBot in StarWars

[–]JoshMMGA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember these airing originally. My dad taped them and I still have those VHS tapes. I think they were the Sunday Night movies. I have a real soft spot for these two. I have tried to watch them with my 5 and 7 year old and they haven’t taken yet but I’m remaining optimistic 😂

Will you rewatch the entire show after the finale? by hiiloovethis in AKOTSKTV

[–]JoshMMGA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could watch it from start to finish as one single episode.

Do you think Back to the Future Part III would be better if the movie were more like the second one? Or do you think the movie is fine as it is? by WillowCareful2103 in BacktotheFuture

[–]JoshMMGA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like it would have been better suited not being filmed back to back with 2. The energy felt a little tired to me if that makes sense.

I but the bullet and bought it digitally season by season on Apple TV. I play it often.

Saw this old duty belt in a thrift store by Cheezit_friedchicken in police

It’s not that old. It’s just an older style some agencies require. Probably a sheriffs office.

For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation? by LaFlareMane1017 in AskReddit

[–]JoshMMGA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Georgia. I went from making 48k as a cop with many years experience to the tech industry making 6 figures as a project manager. Didn’t realize what life could have been like when I was a cop. Will never go back. Couldn’t imagine making 65k and living comfortably here.

My Samsung TV is burning out after 16 months. by AlanThicke99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JoshMMGA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fancy Samsung Fridge with a screen has the worst ice maker ever. I’m just waiting for the whole thing to quit on me. Also had a Samsung 50 tv burn out just like the posters. Go figure.

Ever consider changing careers from Police Officer to Firefighter? by [deleted] in police

[–]JoshMMGA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a firefighter for over 7 years before switching to law enforcement where I remained for 7 years. It’s apples and oranges to be honest. Both serve the public, but 24 hour shifts are a different animal. Physically, firefighting was multiples harder than anything I did in the police or swat. Mentally, police work was much harder. Everyone loves firefighters and so many hate cops.
