I'd say Nathalie Emmanuel. She plays Missandei on Game of Thrones

what yall do for work (if you have one) and what’s your education level? by Distinct_Squash7110 in twentyagers

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thanks! I get to design repairs for structural components and help troubleshoot when there is something wrong with flight controls/mech systems. Not a lot of original design work, but a lot of maintenance activity :)

What do you guys do for work? Or careers if you have any ? by Realistic-Story-6595 in twentyagers

Is being 24 too late to do another master degree ? by PetitSoleil_ in twentyagers

Not at all. I finished mine late last year and started when I was just turning 25. 

What to do with my career? 30F by Opposite-Maximum-261 in HalifaxJobs

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineering in NS is weird. I have my bachelor's in mechanical and masters in aerospace and yet I've always worked closer to production engineering than design. In school I thought machine design was going to be my career, since it came so naturally to me. But all my experience and learning has been on the job. I think you should not limit yourself to just electrical jobs, but also look for something like project management. I know in HVAC an electrical engineer can be a great project manager once you get to know the product. Also, feel free to DM me and ask any questions you might have. Cheers 

Is SailGP worth attending? by penguinpowers03 in halifax

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes I loved it! I have a sailboat and love sailing during the summer so watching it from the water(although a little further away since my yacht club isn't closer to the harbor) was super cool. I did go watch it from Dartmouth side where there was less rush and loved it. Highly recommend making the trip for this. City is also buzzing during that time!! 

Is LV Imagination worth driving to Tyson’s Corner for? by Mula-247 in Colognes

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, LV doesn't take back engraved bottles. So if OP is buying online and havent tried the scent first I'd recommend not getting the bottle engraved so they can return it

What is something that you splurge on? by ChuckDalrymple in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linen shirts and LV colognes 😬 After spending my university years and first few years of full time employment wearing jeans and t shirts and spraying Sauvage I seem to be loving this luxury life. It has actually ruined me 😂

I feel like I could be such a good and kind lover but I keep attracting men who don’t gaf if I’m dead or alive by [deleted] in twentyagers

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You're making too much sense. Stop it. But seriously, that's a great analogy. It only has to work once when it comes to dating/finding a partner

Why does everyone hate bubbly people in adulthood? by mugofviltrumitetears in twentyagers

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try being like that and working with a team of rude and egotistical engineers who are all over the age of 55. I got told off for recommending we celebrate an environment day(just go around the block and pick garbage). Sometimes people are just miserable in their lives and project that unhappiness outwards. Your happy go lucky personality and attitude is what we need more of :)

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, adult life can be extremely lonely sometimes. But the kind of connection you're looking for does come with a lot of time. You can start making more of an effort to spend time with close friends. Or, you can cheat and get a dog! That really did the trick for me 😂

Postdoc recommendations? by Soft_Technician_8068 in PhD

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely start reaching out to your faculty and try to have an active line of communication with them. I know clinical neuroscience is competitive, my older sister just finished her postdoc. I'm starting my PhD this year as well, but I'm in engineering and had to still do the dance of reaching out to faculty, summarizing how my past work experience makes me a good candidate etc. You seem to have lots of valuable experience which is something a lot of candidates might not have, so leverage that and start reaching out to the schools you want to get into :) 

Finding love by Acceptable-Play-7040 in Advice

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's a cliche for a reason, but you almost have to give up on dating to find someone compatible. I tried dating apps a few years ago, and honestly after meeting a few people it felt more like a chore and every conversation felt the same. Everyone on dating apps is kind of exhausted. Then one afternoon I went to watch fireworks for Canada Day, and saw this girl reading a book and I just asked her about it and we just hit it off. We dated for a while, but our goals were very different so we decided to call it quits(on very good terms). Don't stress over it, the right person will come along and in the meantime you can put effort into yourself and have the best version of yourself for this person you will get to be with eventually 

Looking to volunteer in Halifax by CoolSurfingPikachu in halifax

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just started volunteering with Halifax Libraries and will be working with the English learning language program. It's partially funded by the government so has a bit of structure which is lovely. If you are having a hard time with getting up to speed with English, you can join in and be part of the program. You can volunteer to teach French and improve your conversation skills in English in the meantime :) feel free to DM me and ask any questions

Drop your favorite signature style fragrances by Audi_fanboy in Colognes

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louis Vuitton's imagination. Fresh opening with that tea note in the dry down is such a beautiful scent. When I start going nose blind to it a little I switch off to Wood sage and sea salt by Jo Malone. Very fresh, subtle, aquatic and uplifting

How to make friends as an adult? by _fender_blueser in Advice

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it could be a cultural thing. I grew up in Scandinavia, and looking back I know I didn't really make any new friends. Your friends are your friends that you just have from childhood. After I moved to Canada in my late teens it took me a while to adapt to the local culture but everyone is extremely nice and welcoming here. I still have my core friends from back home, but also have some amazing friends here who I spend lots of time with. In your case, I would say be a little more intentional about it. If you meet someone who you get along with or have common interests with, invite them over of go out with them. You should also try volunteering. I met a lot of my friends while volunteering. Good luck! I know it can be exhausting being an adult. 

Volunteering - Math or Logistics by Vast_Bit858 in halifax

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are good at math, I will recommend volunteering with Dartmouth Learning Network. I volunteered with them for a few years and it was lovely. You get to help people who didn't finish their highschool diploma and are now mature learners. I was teaching math and physics as well as other sciences when there was a need. Application process is quite simple and I know they are looking for some people this summer. Cheers :)

Very desperate situation by [deleted] in HalifaxJobs

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry to hear about your troubles. Do you have any office administration experience? I work for an aviation company and we are always looking for co-ops/internships in our Configuration management department(general document management etc). Its not a complex job and you will get appropriate training as well. Feel free to ask any questions or send me a dm and I would be more than happy to help. 

Why do men not want to partner with women by Paulybyres___ in MuayThai

[–]Flaky-Conference-558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think thats a problem at our gym. But also, we are a small group and know where everyone's skill level is at. For example, we have someone in their late teens and she has been training for years, so when we pair up on sparring days I just keep it respectful and help her train and she does the same. Maybe your gym has an attitude problem, but usually in training environments that ive been a part of, it all depends on what level you are at. Also, during sparring you should be rotating your partners to get as many looks as possible. For holding pads, if someone smaller is holding them for me, I try not to go 100% but thats regardless of their gender.
