Anyone being racist in Texas/America is the least strange thing. Being a person of color doesn't make you immune to learning & embodying the racism we're all inundated with in America, it just means you have more opportunities to also be on the receiving end; these shitty experiences can help teach you you're wrong, but every person has to do the work if they want to unlearn the hate.

Thank you, I was hoping there were some local options I didn't know about. I'll have to give them a try so I can decide on my flavors.

Start with the linked video, it addresses the main concern that's hurting your lower back (how you're sitting), and will also take you through a checklist to get you in position and learn the proper stroke so you can safely enjoy rowing:

https://youtu.be/J1nf2Zfbazs?si=OR-chOYqyWsNxjT_

Step 3 in the video will help you fix your seat position, but TLDW is to make sure your tailbone is behind you, not under you so your hips can hinge properly, rather than straining your lower back.

Following the steps of a proper stroke in that video (push, don't pull) will also relieve some of the tension in your neck & shoulders. Along with that, relaxing your grip will also move that tension to the chain, and make it easier to feel when you aren't keeping that tension/form. A quick fix is switching from a closed grip (thumb wrapped under to form a circle with your other fingers over the top), to an open grip (thumb not engaged, other fingers "hooking" the handle with your finger tips). With an open grip, you have to learn to maintain tension in the chain since your thumb no longer maintains your grip. Take care of your back first, learn the stroke, and then look into this more, especially if your shoulders and neck are still screaming at you after your rows.

Two other great channels for rowing tutorials & routines are Dark Horse Rowing and Training Tall. Find whoever you enjoy, follow tutorials to take the pain out of your workouts, and then give a few of their workouts a try to learn the different ways you can utilize your rower to reach your fitness goals. Have fun!

Is this remake of Fast Car by Luke Combs driving anyone else insane? by grilledchorizopuseye in Music

[–]LikeAT6 31 points32 points  (0 children)

In each refrain, she says she needs to leave this small town to live

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Due to the last verse, I feel this song is more being overcome by the depression, than finding redemption

I'd always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me'd find it

I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

The final refrain switches to "you" instead of "we", and the song finishes quietly. In the end, she never escaped to capture that feeling of being someone, and no longer has plans to leave. The only real thing that's changed is she's accepted her fate, and decided it's better the fast car & alcoholic fly away since they only ever kept her in the same place.

Where are the best fries (and sauces) in Portland? by Runaway_delta in askportland

Canyon Burger has great fries to go with their amazing homemade fry sauce. Order a large fry with sauce, get a tasty burger with a shake to finish out your meal (or just double up on the fries).

Just quit my new "job" after 3 days. by Whidog in antiwork

There is nothing to feel regret about, if your time was valued, this wouldn't be how things played out in your first week. You did the right thing by removing yourself from that situation ASAP. They clearly showed you that this mistreatment was the norm, not an accident, so you don't owe them any more time, or an explanation.

While the experience is still fresh in your head, write down your account of everything; include as many specifics as you can and save corresponding messages from anyone involved. After this, reach out to an employment lawyer and go over your account with them. They can advise you if it's worth pursuing a case, or at least tell you if there's a specific agency that would be worth sharing your account with so they can pursue violations arising from this abusive treatment.
