cant read acab without thinking "assigned cop at birth"
There’s always a brief moment moment of deep confusing when I read AFAB
Is AFAB like ABFAB?
Assigned Female at Birth
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
Unpopular opinion: the show was kinda cool. Not because it's very realistic, but because it had really good writing. Well except for the computer science, but that much is obvious.

And that's never good. But as a computer scientist, I am of the opinion that the real thing is rarely as compelling as The Imitation Game, and even that was about people more than math/science. I'm on board with writers having fun with this stuff because it sort of challenges us to do better out in the world.
For instance, Hackers was not a wildly-off-target take on what computing was like. Rather it's what we wanted computing to look like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that scene where her and McGee were fighting against a hacker in real time using the same keyboard at the same time...
chef's kiss
Exactly. Everyone involved understood the assignment.
Mr Robot was very accurate
I remember reading somewhere that TV show writers/producers are well aware of this and it’s kind of a sport to get the most ridiculous hacking scene in.
Real hacking would be kind of boring to show, it would just be a guy staring at a screen for hours on end and occasionally typing something.
The show that does it best is Mr robot, at least as far as I am aware it has the most realistic hacking scenes.
Four handed counter hacking on the same keyboard was peak TV.
It really was
NCIS is legitimately one of the stupidest shows in the history of television.
I simply do not understand the appeal
Without even clicking the link, I'm going to bet it's the stupid fucking double hack scene.
It's a show for basic dads to feel smart watching.
Same appeal as all the other decent hospital/cop shows of the time. Just because some of the tech scenes were did poorly on purpose doesn't mean the rest of it is equally bad. The cast, dialogue and plot were fine. Not sopranos or whatever, but definitely not "drivel". Not everything needs to be super serious all the time.
Edit: lul, the guy actually questioned his father's intelligence because they enjoyed NCIS. What sort of person judges others for their taste in art/hobbies? Jfc.
I had a girlfriend that was really into anything Hitler... Rest assured I judged.
Was it like those people that enjoy watching interviews/documentaries with serial killers or was it more like those people that write them love letters?
Boomer humor at its most basic. "Them young 'uns think they're so smart, but they just got schooled...that's why you gotta respect yer elders!" Right, because unplugging a single node is going to save the network servers. I've literally only seen this clip of the show, but that blatant pandering to boomers told me all I needed to know. Also, fuck 12.
I've always took that scene to be way more about not panicking and thus missing the obvious solution than any sort of boomer humor.
Those algebra students of mine who are drawn in by the obvious proposed solutions on tests end up failing them.
"NCIS is a horrible show" links to one of the only bad scenes in the show
My friend, my dad used to watch that show all the time, so I have seen a lot of it.
The 2 idiots 1 keyboard scene isn't "one of the only bad scenes in the show," it's literally one of the single most entertaining moments of the show.
And that's not retroactively calling that scene entertaining, it is meant as a scathing insult to the abysmal quality of the rest of the show.
I loved my father, but I constantly questioned his intelligence being able to sit through that drivel.
If you disagree with my opinion, that is okay, but I promise you are not going to be able to change it
I choose to believe that the NCIS has developed a technique with which two users can controll a computer at the same time through the same keyboard. And that they are using an advanced operating system which UI is based solely on the technique pop-up ads in the 2000s used.
They are simply thát good at computers.

In the show, Abby is not a cop.
Acab includes military and people who assist cops
So you're taking a good premise to an absurd extent. Got it.
NCIS is civilian law enforcement organization. You know, cops.
Janitors assist cops by keeping precincts.clean, are they bastards? How about the it guys that keep the servers and workstations running, are they bastards?
Hopefully this helps you understand the absurdity of what you are advocating.
Bro's really trying to pretend the forensic team is basically just cleaning the floor on a wage slave salary 💀
Just FYI: Forensic scientists can also be sworn officers, and issued badges and firearms.
"Acab includes military and people who assist cops"
No, I was abstracting this statement further so that it was clear that "and people who assist cops" was idiotic because it is far too broad.
I have no idea wtf you think you're talking about, but whatever it is it's not on topic. It looks like you were trying to build a straw man.
She works in "criminal justice" for the U.S. military.
You can be pedantic about the 'C' in ACAB applying, but the Bastard bit inescapably applies.
