💸My mom always used to tell me: never lend your friends any money if you don't want to lose them.
Многие путают "занять" / "дать в долг" / "одолжить": повторите каждое из этих слов 3 раза и перестанет быть понятно, кто и что кому даёт. :) А затем эта путаница транслируется на английский.
Запомнить можно так:
⚫️borrow — действие К 🔙: брать в долг (от древнеанглийского borg "pledge, bail, debt") e.g. Can I borrow 5 bucks? I'll pay you back tomorrow.
⚫️lend — действие ОТ: 🔜 даём в долг (только не друзьям) (от древнеанглийского lænan "to grant temporarily, lease out, make loans, lend money at interest") e.g. Irefuse to lend 5 bucks to my buddy. Hasn't he seen today's exchange rate?

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. Telegram Messenger Blocks Navalny Bot During Russian Election Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
