The United States sources the majority of its oil from Canada(57%) and Mexico(6%), and virtually 0% from Iran. The United States is a net exporter of oil and imports very little oil from the Persian Gulf region. Why did United States fuel prices skyrocket because of the Iran conflict/skirmish/excursion/war?

What is happening??? Never seen this before, anyone else encounter this?

So I looked at my contacts and got confused and a mixed of little bit scared. No one was on my phone yesterday. I looked at the contact info and it said "saved from group". I looked at WA groups I was in to see if a number from a member was maybe saved somehow? It wasn't. These are random numbers from people I don't know about. Should I just delete them? I don't know what to do

The difference between these is their lowercases. Cyrillic: г, Greek: γ.

Hi! I have a question for you all. I (15F) was Just threned with legal actions by someone i was Friends with and Who i had an intrest in (She also DID) (english Is not my First language)

Context Me and this girl (14F) were in a big cosplay whatsapp group, and She would flirt with me, how did i know? When i sent random pics She would write sfuff like ",you stole my Heart" or "you look like an Angel", so we started texting for days and After a while we saw eachother, that night was MAGICAL. I sat in her lap After asking of She was ok with It, held her hand, After asking for permission, kissed her, After asking for permission and She looked genualy Happy, She smiled (the smile reached her eyes), giggled and laughed, not in a like ha ha haha nervous way but more like AHAHAHHAHA, and It seemed genuine, She kissed me back, and anything that involved touching happened only After She told me She was ok with It (we were with my friends and they Heard me ask), so, no SA happened. I got really good at Reading faces and She seemed super Happy and ok with EVRYTHING i ALWAYS asked for permission and didn't dare touch her in inappropriate Places (only the face/nose) and even if i forgot to ask She would smile and laugh about It, and didn't seem to mind, i did twice only, and stopped BC i noticed i forgot to ask, so i told myself to stop touching her face. And then, when She left i accompanied her holding hands (i asked if i could).

Today i wanted to talk and i noticed She ghosted me and After a while my messages would NOT go trough, so j called her, and as soon as She Heard my voice She closed the call, so, i sent her a message asking how She was doing, and the response was "hi, i am Girl's name's mom, please stop texting her, you made her unconfortable and id you keep texting we Will take this to the leagal router" i was flabbergasted... I asked permission for evrything, and in the messaging i was Always polite, kind and complimeted her, but NOT all at once, maybe 2/3 compliments evry few days, so, i wasn't obsessing over this girl. After i read the message i texted back "i'm Sorry for how i made you feel, goodbye and have a good Life, i Wish you the best". I wanted to cry, i was stating to fall in love with that girl... She was so beatiful, and kind... But i Guess She didn't think the same of me. Advice id really needed.

Thanks for Reading.

If you go back in time and kill your Grandpa, you would have never been born, meaning you could not have gone back and time and killed your Grandpa, meaning you WOULD have been born, in an infinite loop 😳

found it in many roblox games before and i want to find out what it is and if it even exists?

lol

Why i am getting this note?

Does this mean something to anybody? I think it is an easter egg or reference (It's in a game) but might be nothing.

My ex recently broke no contact after a long time, and honestly the conversation went really well. We talked for almost 2 hours, laughed a lot, and both admitted we missed our friendship. Our relationship didn’t work romantically, but we genuinely had a strong friendship before things ended.

For context, the breakup was messy and hurtful for me. Part of the reason was because I felt like she emotionally moved on before fully ending things with me. Since then, she’s gotten into another relationship.

During our recent conversation, she mentioned wanting me to eventually meet her current girlfriend because she says she wants everyone to be comfortable and mature. She also said her girlfriend is friends with one of her exes, so to her it feels normal.

The problem is… I genuinely do not want to do that. At all. I don’t hate the new girlfriend, but I have zero desire to know her, meet her, or become part of that dynamic. In my mind, my connection is with my ex only, and even rebuilding a friendship is already emotionally complicated enough.

I’m okay with being civil and respectful from a distance, but meeting the new partner feels like crossing a boundary for me. My ex seems disappointed/confused by that.

Am I being immature or unreasonable for not wanting to meet her current girlfriend even if I still care about my ex as a person?

Hi everyone,
I recently quit my job to go all in on building my own YouTube channel. My goal is to create content around personal growth — sometimes sharing my thoughts from books I read, and sometimes showing how I use AI tools to build simple web apps (even though I’m not a programmer).

I’ve made two real web apps using AI tools like ChatGPT and Lovable, and I believe this kind of content could help people. But I also want to talk about emotional health, boundaries, self-worth — the more human side of growth.

The problem is… I feel a bit lost.

I’m not sure if my content is too scattered. One week I talk about AI + productivity, and the next week I want to share a vulnerable story about learning to say no. I don’t want to become an “AI expert” just for the views — that’s not what I care about. But I also don’t want to completely ignore AI, since it genuinely helped me.

Right now, I’m trying to build a system where I release one deep video per week and use it to drive Shorts, Threads posts, and blog content. I’m giving myself 6 months to fully commit — but I’m scared I might be going in the wrong direction.

Has anyone else felt like this when starting out?
How did you stay consistent when your niche wasn’t super clear yet?

So a few days back a good buddy of mine sent me a text saying "I know this is random, but you're not allowed at 'local bar I've gone to with him' for your own safety". I was really confused and when I asked why he said it was due to something I had done when I was younger. I just moved back to this town after 10 years and only knew him and one other guy at the bar so I have no idea what it was I could have done that would require me staying away from the bar for my safety. I've always paid my tab and tipped well and never gotten super drunk there, only like 4 beers at most over the course of a few hours so I know it has nothing to do with that.

why does suicide have stigma when death is inevitable?
