In my opinion, yes. Even though the NFL has the format for the seventeenth game, which is an interconference game against the team that finished in the same spot in the division you played two years ago (Ex. the LA Chargers and Minnesota Vikings both finished in 3rd place in their division last year and played each other 2019, which followed interconference rotation). This new change is similar the interleague rivalries in MLB; an example is the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox play each other every year, though the NL Central plays the AL East and AL Central plays the NL West in 2022, respectively. The "rivalry" would be played each season and alternating home/away every season. In a year where a regular interconference matchup were to occur (Ex. Baltimore Ravens and Washington Football Team when they meet again in 2024), these teams would play a home/away, similar to how Washington plays the Eagles on a yearly basis.
These would be my interconference rivalries, they are mostly based on geography, but some are based on historical context. Others were harder to match:
Baltimore Ravens vs. Washington Football Team
Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Chicago Bears
Cleveland Browns vs. Minnesota Vikings
Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks (Former AFC West Rivals)
Houston Texans vs. Arizona Cardinals
Indianapolis Colts vs. Atlanta Falcons
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Carolina Panthers (Expansion teams that came in together in 1995)
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers
Las Vegas Raiders vs. San Francisco 49ers
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Los Angeles Rams
Miami Dolphins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles
New York Jets vs. New York Giants
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys (Most frequent Super Bowl matchup)
Tennessee Titans vs. New Orleans Saints
I am curious if you guys support this idea or do you support the current method?

Hello and welcome to this December countdown! The X days of December is a small thing I'm doing this month, where I make a post every day on a theme for anyone who wants to put their thoughts in about. As we count down the days until Christmas, New Year's or perhaps just December, a lot of us might feel stressed or worried about this time of year, so let's try to make the best of it together!
The prompts are meant as a bit of inspiration, and not a rule, so you're free to write whatever comes to your mind this day. One sentence or a small novel, doesn't matter, same about whether this is your day one or day one thousand. I just want to hear your thoughts.
Day 17: Holiday traditions
Good morning/day/evening, everyone! I hope you're doing well.
Do you have any holiday traditions? It's a broad question. Not all of us celebrate holidays around this time, and the holidays we do celebrate probably differ a lot - not just in terms of what holiday, but also our geographical positions. If you have any thoughts about it, I'd be very interested in hearing them!
For me, Christmas is the one. The way I've celebrated has changed a lot throughout my life - I grew up in a very dysfunctional and Christian family, with addiction and co-addiction problems, so I think you can imagine what spectacular holidays I've had throughout my life.
Today, my Christmas celebrations are all secular, but very dear to me. I get a chocolate advent calendar, deck the whole apartment out in decorations and candles and lights, and on the Big Day order and cook a fuckton of food and then daze off in a coma after exchanging presents with my dad. And that's pretty much it, and I love it. I like this season to be focused only on the things that make me happy, and anything or anyone that wants to complicate it by trying to force things to be all cheerful and complicated and forced are welcome to celebrate as they like. Separated from me. By a great distance.
Staying sober is a hard one, though. I associate the christmas season with drinking, so much in so many ways, and for a long time it was unthinkable to manage to stir up some christmas cheer without a glass or thirty of wine. My mental reminders right now are so centered around not ruining anything for me - which alcohol will inevitably do. I don't want to add anxiety and guilt and nausea into my Christmas. I want to just lay on the sofa and eat chocolate and fart into the cushions with nothing to ruin the vibe for me, I want to

That fanfic being if time is money then I'll spend it all for you by thosefiveadoraburrs and wordswithdragons. The setting is four years post season 3, and centers around Rayla's parents being de-coined and coming to terms with their own daughter being married to Callum.
>Rayla threw a look at Runaan once they were gone. “You couldn’t have even pretended to be civil?”
>
>“You cannot just expect me to be...fine, with all of...this.”
>
>“All of what , exactly? He’s the only reason you’re standing here right now, with your family, with your husband.”
>
>“He’s a human—”
>
>“ So what ?” Rayla demanded, growing red in the face. “You think he’s a lesser being or a liar? He’s good and kind and brave, he’s saved my life countless times—he’s been there for me more than you ever were!”
>
>“Rayla,” Ethari said gently. “Even I needed some time to adjust to the place Callum had in your life, once I realized the extent of it—the world was very different four years ago, and while you’re right that Callum is a good man, Runaan—”
>
>“Don’t you dare defend him,” she said, rounding on him. Ethari blinked and Runaan scowled. “Not when you Ghosted me too.”
>
>Tiadrin’s stomach dropped. “You were Ghosted? How? For what?”
>
>“They assumed I ran away. I was trying to stall Runaan from killing King Harrow, to give the boys time to get away safely with the Egg, too.” She frowned at Runaan. “But then you went and killed his father anyway, even knowing the Egg was alive, and he spent the past four years just trying to get you free, for my sake—the least you can do is be civil! He’s the love of my life, so you’ll just have to get used to him being around!”
>
>“Four years of peace does not mean you throw your life away to be with some human boy,” Runaan hissed, “and endure decades of—”
>
>“Of what?” she demanded. “Of the sort of prejudice you’re showing right now?”
>
>Runaan turned despairingly to Lain and Tiadrin. “You cannot tell me that you are okay with this either?”
>
>“It’s not really our place to be ‘okay’ with her choices,” Lain said carefully. “I know we still have to get used to her being an adult now, but we can at least try to remember.”
>
>“Even if that choice is a human prince?”
>
>“He makes her happy,” Tiadrin said, looking at Rayla
Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it — Happy Saturday to everyone else! There is a new episode of ArrayCast https://www.arraycast.com/episodes/episode17-tacit4-the-dyadic-hook
In our seventeenth episode, we returned to our discussion of tacit programming and tackled the description of the dyadic hook and found that J is not the only language that has this language construct.
Host: Conor Hoekstra Panel: Stephen Taylor, Adám Brudzewsky and Bob Therriault.
We were woke by some child song blaring from speakers all over the city, after a few tones, the music became distorted, and alarms could be heard as ambience. Then the music started again, audible, then distortion, alarms…it was on infinite loop. Deafening, and disturbing, like a psychological attack aimed at anyone with a sound mind. We couldn’t think, we covered our ears while cramming ourselves into the small bathroom. The music was muffled to some extent. I don’t know how long we were standing there, when it finally stopped. The silence after it was much more stressful. We looked at each other with hazy eyes, our minds still rattling. Boris remembered the music, it was a pioneer song by a children choir. It was to be performed during the opening ceremony of the Pripyat Amusement Park, on 1 May 1986. The children were rehearsing when the evacuation was declared, and the alarms were sound. This recording must be a lost reminder of the late normal life in the city. Who thought to blare it, though…
I thanked them for escorting me here alive. We shook hands, and left the room. Alone again, I felt a bit lost, didn’t know where to start. It was a crazy idea from me to come here half-cocked, but there was no return, I could never come back again, it was my last chance to find Alexei. I needed a plan. Climbed to the roof, and scouted the whole city. Saw Boris and Bohdan walk toward East; a building to the West of me, Palats of Kultur Energetik. Noticed movement there…many Monolith members. Lookouts on the balcony, patrols around the building. This must be their main base! We just spent the night a stone’s throw away from the fortress of the most vicious human beings in the world! I was too scared to enter it, though. While I had disguise, I knew I would reveal myself being too anxious. And if I meet Alexei here, he may recognize me, how would he react? Would his people turn against him? The first time I found him, he was engaged in a firefight, and was the sole survivor of the skirmish. He recognized me then, was strange, but I could have him follow me. He didn’t say a word, but somehow knew that I came to help and didn’t object in any way. But if I find him among a group of cultists? How can I make him follow me without raising any attention? They shoot anyone. I just realized that it was an impossible task. I gazed the building for a few minutes, elaborating on all possible scenario and their outcome.
A patrol exited the building. Four people. Alexei among

Hi there!
I am an aspiring game developer and a Computer Science student abroad. I have discovered a lot of game genres for the past year after finally replacing my old laptop and I have fallen in love with platformers like this (that are also very rare on PC at least). I have played the first Psychonauts game as a recommendation from a friend and it actually took me two tries to get into it, but once I did, it was a journey! I loved the colors, the controls, the level design, the story, the CREATIVITY of it all! It was like being a kid again without feeling like I’m playing a kids’ game. So much love and care have been put into it and its sequel that I can’t wait to be able to play it.
The only problem is the price, I have never paid this much money on a game since my budget is limited for uni and income is not really that reliable. It is a long story that I could explain privately if you want. In addition, the euro is 5 times larger than the Romanian currency, yet salaries are smaller than other countries in the EU.
As an aspiring game developer, I have a pretty good critical eye and can learn a lot by playing it as in how the systems work, the techniques used for post processing, level design, storytelling and so much more! So I humbly ask you to help me experience this sequel of a masterpiece brought back to life 16 years later.
Thanks a lot to whoever’s reading this!

First Chapter | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
Jumper: Sordahon
Jump: Jurassic Park
Race: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Origin: Dinosaur 100 CP
Starting Location: Isla Nublar
Points: 1200
Perks:
Life Finds a Way Free - You may change your own biological sex and sexual preference. This takes a few hours to complete the process. Small possibility of this starting automatically if you’re surrounded by a group with the same gender as you but you can reverse it at any point.
Clever Girl 100 CP Discounted - Regardless of whether or not your current brain can accommodate it, you lose no human functionality in non-human forms. You still keep the benefit of all your animal instincts and beneficial mental traits though. You don’t suffer racial intelligence penalties.
Thundering Roar 100 CP Discounted - You have a mighty roar that gives even the most courageous souls pause. Lesser creatures may scatter in terror at the tremendous sound, and smaller ones will be knocked down. The rumbling roar is so strong it feels as though the air buzzes around you.
Window to the past 400 CP - You can look upon an area and view it as it was 65 million years ago, even envisioning the creatures that roamed there vividly. This can give you great insight into the ancient world. With some effort, you can use this to look at the recent past as well.
Items:
Sap on a Stick 100 CP - Everything looks classier on a stick. This hunk of amber may or may not contain a mosquito, which in turn may or may not contain some extinct species DNA. But you really wouldn’t want to damage the perfect amber by drilling a hole into it. A lovely polished walking stick.
Fedora 100 CP - Ensures that neither dust nor the sun will ever get in your eyes while you wear it. Can be any headwear in any colour you’d like, if for some reason you don’t want a fedora.
DNA Samples 200 CP - Two dozen priceless samples of nearly complete dinosaur genomes. You could make a killing selling these to rival corporations, but perhaps it would be better to keep them for your own use?
Companions:
It’s… It’s a Dinosaur! 100 CP Discounted - T-Rex
