  • Well, it’s an interesting meta discussion anyway.

    Point of the rule is multi-faceted:

    • limit editorialized clickbait titles
    • limit reposts (under secondary titles)
    • let the story author/editor team keep their voice

    I was there on Reddit when the original rule was created. Like in the thread. And it’s a good rule.

    If OP wants to write another article, and publish it with a new title, go for it.

    The rule has nothing to do with this one particular instance of an actual good editorialized title. I like it. But I don’t agree with posting it over the story author’s title.




  • So much going on in that little comment of yours. The F-35 borrowed from the F-22 while reducing cost to become the JSF. It was effectively a downgrade on purpose

    The F-22 was optimized for

    • air superiority
    • speed
    • maneuverability

    The F-35 was optimized for

    • multirole strike missions
    • affordability (relative to the F-22)
    • exportability

    Also, your claim the F-35 was “downed in its first actual combat mission that was not a balloon” is not true. (A) There is still no confirmed combat shootdown of an F-35. And (B) F-35s have conducted non-balloon-related combat operations for years in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

    So… not sure what you think you know, but it seems to be incorrect.
