    I hate it when people use CE in dates instead of AFAD. It’s disrespectful of tradition to call it the Common Era instead of Anno Fabae Asini Domus.

    ~I really hope no one who reads this studied Latin, the casing is definitely wrong.~

      here’s the thing though. CE is an acknowledgement that this is the calendar that everyone has been forced to use in business thanks to colonial violence. Anno Domini and all its derivitive names prop up a theocratic hegemony that needs to be destroyed

        You’re welcome to your opinion, but it’s very disrespectful not to refer to the Bean Burrito Lord (peas be upon him) by his full title, in Latin or English. “Domini” without qualification could be any random lord off the street.
