This video made me reflect on how many men express their emotions through stories and parables. Unlike most women, who often identify and articulate specific emotions, many men tend to reveal their most profound introspective thoughts and tender heartfelt truths in a manner that feels more organic to them. As men gain wisdom through experience, they frequently share it by inviting you to journey with them through narrative.
The challenge - and perhaps the disconnect - lies in the fact that understanding the underlying message, hidden in plain sight, requires one to listen with intent and to genuinely care. For example, a man might recount a seemingly serendipitous altruistic interaction with another woman that he found memorable. While some women may perceive this as merely a beautiful moment or even a reason for jealousy, he is often conveying something deeper - such as a personal shift in his perspective on the purpose of cross-gender relationships. Crucially, discernment and attentiveness are required to notice the subtle emotional shifts he expresses while sharing himself with you.
If we choose to truly listen to men, we will find that they are always telling us what holds meaning for them and how they feel. @FlurkFellows

In the past, it was noticed that through bulk SMSes, investors were induced to invest in or purchase the stocks of certain listed companies. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals.
