What is a cut/type of meat/fish that is highly prized in your culture but not regarded highly/an off cut elsewhere?

Apparently some Asian cultures view the chicken breast as the least desirable bit of the bird but it’s the most expensive in the Uk. Pigs feet would be another example of something that isnt used in the west but highly prized in many cultures.

American conservatives, AOC seems to be saying that woke was crazy, has the culture war been won? Do you anticipate political discourse in the US moving back to more traditional talking points?

Is immigration enforcement worth a trade off in personal liberty?

Let’s say the government could identify and deport nearly all illegal immigrants with a Chinese style surveillance state. All citizens, tourists and legal migrants faces are registered. Assuming hypothetically the technology worked perfectly and those not registered are nearly immediately identified, tracked and deported would you endorse it?

What is the most equitable time zone to host the World Cup for participating nations (weighted by population).

If we assume 12:00-21:00 are good hours and all others are bad. What time zone would allow the most people to watch at a convenient time?

Why do some people not realise many of us don’t care about immigration?

A massively upvoted post here said why don’t people realise the rise of reform is down to immigration. Here is my response as someone who honestly couldn’t give a damn.

I’m English as they come and I am the sixth generation in London, the least ‘English’ part of England and don’t shoot me but I actually quite like immigrants tbh. I like the food variety it brings, I like the positive outlook many immigrants bring, many are more patriotic than the native born English frankly as they’ve seen what a ‘broken’ country actually looks like and appreciate this great nation for what it is.

My only gripe is house prices but frankly that is mostly down to low interest rates and cheap mortgages. Even if I blame demand that’s an issue resulting from other English people moving to London too.

Even if I didn’t like these people (they’re just like us surprise surprise) and the outlook that they bring. These people will become English in the fullness of time, isolationist immigrant groups don’t tend to last more than two generations.
Grooming gangs were mentioned as ever however let’s be honest how many ‘Ronnie Pickering’ types have you seen showing awful disrespect to women in the pub? Is this purley an Islamic phenomenon? No it’s not, maybe it is greater than average but I don’t think that mindset will be more prevlant than among your average Englishman once they’ve acclimatised to the UK, gone through our education system and distanced themselves from the backwards views on women of their south Asian forebears.

Now on numbers, obviously lower than current trends but between 1850-1950 about 15% of people would be counted as having recent immigrant origin. Find me one of those that isnt part of the ‘English’ now. Even those with more recent immigrant history many are English through and through. Half of David baddiels family are of a different faith and came after the war but he’s English as they come, I mean he wrote three lions ffs.

If we closed the borders tomorrow, no one in no one out in 50 odd years we would be back to 95% English, as very few via skin colour will be distinguishable from one another.

The English culture is strong and I’m not scared it’s going anywhere but up.

Best playstyle if you have good game knowledge but will always have 60ish apm?

Hi I picked up this game to play with some pals but I’ve never really been much of a pc gamer and I’m quite slow physically. With the best will in the world I’ll never get above 60 actions per minute. What is the best play style to negate this disadvantage as much as possible, I play team games mainly.
