i can t stand

1. Oblivious Main Male Character You'd think that the main character of an anime would have some degree of intelligence. Instead, many main characters (who are mostly male) are inflicted with utter obliviousness. They're completely clueless when it comes to girls who are interested in them and can't think for themselves.

Dec 3, 2012. #6. This is an interesting thread as I keep meaning to talk this over with my psych, I am super sensitive to noise, like you say not sound but noise. The hoover, the washing machine, voices from the next room (the type where its just a muffled noise!) bad quality speakers with radio/music. Chat Rencontre Gratuit En Ligne Sans Inscription. 1 Hello, Is "can't stand" followed by "ing" or the infinitive form? EXAMPLE "I can't stand smelling Kerosene." OR "I can't stand to smell Kerosene."Google results suggest the latter in a convincing manner, but the grammar books supports the +ing form. 2 Hello Dathrilla. Personally I wouldn't use either of those in British English. I'd say I can't stand the smell of kerosene. EDIT Oops, forgot to answer the question. Generally it can be followed by either. I can't stand looking at myself in the mirror. I can hardly stand to look at myself in the mirror. 3 I agree with ewie with regards to the example of smelling kerosene, but I would add that "can't stand" is usually followed by either a noun or by a verb in the continuous form -ing I can´t stand having to take the stairs I can´t stand being last in the queue I can´t stand coffee without sugar Hope this helps 4 Will anyone explain the difference to me, please 6 Both are possible, but I think it would be useful for you to make up a sentence with can't stand to ..... I am not sure that the two versions are always interchangeable. 7 Can't stand sounds normal to me. See in context Can't stand often sounds odd. See in context - there aren't so many of them. 8 The meaning is the same, or nearly so I can't stand looking at myself in the mirror. [Each time I look at myself in the mirror, it disturbs me.] I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. [I dare not look at myself in the mirror for fear of what I might see.] Both sound perfectly natural to me. 9 I think using" can't stand, can't bear and can't afford" followed by gerund means a general situation I can't stand seeing a little pet being beaten. And I think using" can't stand, can't bear and can't afford" followed by infinitive means a temporary situation I can't stand to eat fish now. 10 [Response to now-deleted post removed DonnyB - moderator] I can't stand to smell kerosene? I can't stand smelling kerosene = I do not like encountering the smell of kerosene. I can't stand to smell kerosene = I have to remain seated in order to smell kerosene. That's an odd restriction - perhaps the fumes make your legs wobbly.

And I think using" can't stand, can't bear and can't afford" followed by infinitive means a temporary situation I can't stand to eat fish now. can't stand is an idiom, with the meaning of "can't tolerate someone or something." -ing verbs what some people call "gerunds" fit nicely in that description, given that -ing verbs denote events, and events are things that happen I can't stand seeing a little pet being beaten; I can't stand eating fish now. But that's not a rule; you will find instances of can't stand + infinitive. Since the infinitive is abstract by nature, whenever the infinitive is turned concrete, referring to something that is happening or is taken as if happening, its use becomes viable I can't stand to see you cry I can't stand to hear them argue She can't stand to be alone but this doesn't happen with every verb. I can't stand to smell kerosene sounds distinctly odd; the idiom breaks down, and the only interpretation left is that there is a physical impediment which prevents you from "standing up" in order to "smell kerosene." can't stand + infinitive works in some cases, but not in others. This may seem illogical, but language/linguistics isn't logic. 12 I can't stand to see you cry I can't stand to hear them argue She can't stand to be alone Your comments are always interesting, but here I find it difficult to agree with you. I don't think that I would ever use the infinitive in those examples - unlike the synonymous "I can't bear to see you cry/them argue/be alone" which seems unremarkable to me. 13 Your comments are always interesting, but here I find it difficult to agree with you.

I deleted my earlier answer because it was misleading. Verbs of not liking such as "hate" and "loathe", and the idioms "can stand" and "can bear" can take either an infinitival clause or a gerund-participial one as complement "I can't stand / can't bear / hate to see/seeing you cry". The verb "stand" as opposed to "can stand" only takes an infinitival complement, as in "I stand to lose a fortune". 14 Your comments are always interesting, but here I find it difficult to agree with you.

I find Seven's examples perfectly natural, personally. Volkswagen After getting the details about Volvo's latest all-electric vehicle, the EX30 compact SUV, there's much to be excited over. It offers seating for five adults and an estimated 265 to 275 miles on a full charge, starting at less than $35,000. However, traditionalists may be slightly less enthusiastic about its power window controls. Volvo says the EX30's cabin is "Inspired by the uncluttered elegance of a Scandinavian home." That uncluttered elegance only provides the driver with a pair of conventional left and right power window switches to control the front and rear windows. To toggle control between the front and rear windows, there's a lighted touch sensor just ahead of the up and down switches in the driver's door armrest. Volvo isn't even the first carmaker to implement this style of window switch — that dubious honor goes to Volkswagen and its — so it's becoming an unwelcome trend. The benefit of this new methodology to automakers isn't immediately apparent. One could speculate that money is saved by eliminating two of the four window switches at the driver's door. Still, those potential savings are somewhat or completely negated by the need for the lighted touch sensor to toggle between the front and rear. The other potential reasoning is that since drivers typically operate only the front windows from their set of controls, the possibility of lowering one of the rear windows by accident — something we've all done — is eliminated if the selector switch remains in front mode. The touch sensor lacks a tactile signal While keeping controls focused on the front windows has merit, significant criticism stems from the execution. Because the touch sensor is flat and not tactile, a driver needs to do one of two things to determine whether it's set to control the front or rear windows They either need to take their eyes off the road to glance at the switch, or they can test raise or lower one of the windows a small amount. It's an unnecessarily complicated process. It seems that if VW, Volvo, and others are going to persevere with only a pair of left and right window switches at the driver's control, the method of selecting front or rear needs to be more tactile, like perhaps a button that has up and down positions, or a rocker switch that's engaged in the front or rear position. This tactic is already employed with power-adjustable side mirrors, which typically only have a single control pad with an actual knob or switch to select left or right operation. We get that carmakers are implementing technology at light speed, and power window switches are a design facet that hasn't been updated in decades. Still, VW and Volvo's current execution leaves something to be desired. We'd say the next step will be putting the window controls on the car's infotainment screen, it's best not to give automakers any ideas.

The phrase “You look great for your age” apparently “drives me bananas,” Aniston said. “I can’t stand it.”She continued “That’s a habit of society that we have these markers like, Well, you’re at that stage, so for your age'…I don’t even understand what it means,” she said. “I’m in better shape than I was in my twenties. I feel better in mind, body, and spirit. It’s all 100 percent better.”Image credit GettyInstead, the actress said, the compliment should be changed to “You look great—period.”Elsewhere in the interview, the publication asks Aniston about the “buzzy wellness discussion about longevity,’” to which Aniston responded “My family lives a long time, especially my dad’s side—I want to be thriving; I don’t want to just be alive.” Image credit GettyThe interview also speaks of Aniston’s partnership with Pvolve, a workout that Aniston said is “onto something,” she said. “I think it’s just taking the pressure off of ourselves and really knowing that whatever you did that day is enough, and don’t be your own worst critic.”Of the workout, she said “it’s just good on my body; it’s good to my body. And I feel like I’ve done something really good for myself.” Image credit GettyAniston said her attitude towards fitness has “absolutely evolved over the years” and that “I had to retrain my brain,” she said. Workouts have also become more elegant “It used to be pounding, pounding, pounding,” Aniston said. “You had to get 45 minutes to an hour of cardio; otherwise you weren’t getting a workout. Not only do you stress your body, you burn out—who wants to do that at all?” Rachel Burchfield is a writer, editor, and podcaster whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family and other royal families around the world.

As CEOs everywhere try to navigate this wave of consumer outrage, you can’t blame them for wondering is weighing into polarizing issues really worth it? For a good number of them, the answer is different in 2023 than before. “Why hit the beehive with a stick?” the founder of Parsons Xtreme Golf told The Wall Street Journal. And yet, while some of the wokest brands pump the brakes on their activism, one of the biggest surprises is who hasn’t — people like former Governor Mike Huckabee, watching the once-beloved chicken chain walk down the world’s path has been a painful exercise. “They’ve bought into the lie,” he told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on Monday’s “Washington Watch.” “I don’t know any other way to say it. I can’t be polite about it, because there’s no way to say, Oh, they’re just trying to stay out of harm’s way.’ No, they have injected themselves into the diversity, equity, and inclusion model,” he shook his head. “They’ve hired someone to be their vice president of DEI. And when a company does that, what they basically are saying is — We want to be able to sit at the cool kids’ table. … We don’t want to be over there by ourselves anymore. We don’t want people to make fun of us or point their fingers at us.’”Huckabee, who was behind 2012’s wildly successful Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day to thank the Cathy family for their public stand on marriage, can’t believe how soon after that the company started to cave. “I don’t know who it is they listen to, but it’s tragic,” he said. After withstanding years of the Left’s vitriol, out of the blue, “Chick-fil-A started moving closer and closer to the very people that showed them nothing but hate.” And frankly, Huckabee pointed out, “I don’t know what they’ve achieved from it.”Worse, the governor explained, it came at a time of unprecedented national support. “They were being shut out of cities like New York and Boston and Chicago — told they couldn’t come there.” And after Americans flooded their stores, turning out by the millions to embrace the Cathys’ courage, many of those local governments backed off. “But Chick-fil-A’s response, rather than to say, Thank you, Christian community, for standing with us and not abandoning us when we were getting pummeled’ was to say, Well, we’re going to move on now.’ And next thing you know, Chick-fil-A abandoned their longstanding relationship with the Salvation Army [and other Christian ministries], and they started linking up with an organization called Covenant House, which is a pro-Pride, pro-LGBTQ, organization in New York. … And it just made no sense.”After taking it on the chin for supporting a group that hosted Drag Queen Story Hours and donating to the extremists at Southern Poverty Law Center, the company decided to go “full-bore woke.” “It’s really disturbing,” Huckabee admitted before saying, “I’ll be honest. One of the big regrets of my life was taking such a public stand for them in 2012, helping to turn the tide that was really about to go against them in a very significant way.”Perkins, who revealed that the Cathys never reached out to FRC after the shooting that resulted from the organization’s participation in that Appreciation Day, wanted people to know “This is not Truett Cathy’s Chick-fil-A. … You knew him. I knew him. We knew what he stood for — and that’s what the company stood for.”Not anymore, Huckabee said. If grandson Andrew Cathy wants to abandon everything his family believed, everything that set their business apart, then there will be consequences. Once-loyal customers aren’t going to go out of their way for a brand that betrayed them, the governor pointed out. “I don’t feel any sense of, Well, I ought to go support Chick-fil-A, because they’re standing with the things I care about’ … because they aren’t standing for the things that matter [anymore].” Quite frankly,” he said, “my attitude about Chick-fil-A is that they’re just another company selling chicken. They’re not open on Sunday. That’s the only distinguishing thing. But not being open on a particular day doesn’t erase what you really stand for. … And it’s unfortunate, but it doesn’t look like Chick-fil-A is going to reverse course. They’re going all in on this left-wing and really unbiblical worldview.”“It makes it much easier to go to Popeye’s,” Huckabee half-joked. “[But] look, if a business doesn’t want to cater to Christians, that’s fine. I’m not buying their politics or their faith — I’m buying their product. But if you’re going to take a stand and say that you’re different, and you’re unique, and you don’t mind being associated with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but then your actions and your affiliations show that you really kind of are ashamed of the gospel,” it’s a different said, the governor pointed out, “I am encouraged. It looks like for the first time in a number of years [that] people are waking up and they’ve just had it.” The idea that this is just about rainbow flags or “loving who I want to love” is out the window, he insists. “That’s no longer what this is about. This is about forcing people to accept a lifestyle that includes the most irrational things — like mutilation of children’s bodies and permanently and irreparably doing damage to them [and] believing that six-, seven-, eight-year-olds have a right of consent on their bodies when we don’t even let them get a tattoo until they’re 18.”“So this [pushback] is encouraging,” Huckabee agreed, “and we’re seeing it across the scope. And I think what’s happened with Target is just a great example.”Suzanne Bowdey serves as editorial director and senior writer at The Washington Stand.
