HookedOnChthonics: Dec 5, 2015; Profoundly dull

Has anything in QC actually been... questionable? I mean, I stopped reading years and years ago, but I remember every instance of drama having the edges painstakingly filed off to afterschool special specification. Also, are the characters aging or are they all still early twenties?

It's questionable that anything in its years of running can be considered "content"

RandomPauI posted:

Today's Questionable Content is really bugging me. This fire destroyed a person's residence making it a household fire. Which means the local Red Cross chapter gets contacted by the fire department and a Disaster Action Team gets deployed.

Here's a simplified summary of what should happen. A Disaster Action Team would arrive within about 30 to 45 minutes of being notified of the fire. They would talk with the fire victims and the fire department to determine how many victims needed what kinds of immediate assistance. The DAT lead would distribute a Client Assistance Card or Cards to the victims. Each card would contain several hundred dollars which the client or clients could use on food, lodging, and other needs.

In this case Bar Owner would get a CAC card because she lost her house. Robot Hand wouldn't get a CAC card because he just missed the bus. They'd also probably get some sweet and salty snacks, light beverages, and a stuffed animal if it's appropriate.

Client Casework would also be notified. Client Casework would connect the victim to services from other agencies they'd qualify for. They often work as an advocate to for the client if their insurance was giving them a hard time. They can also authorize disbursement of additional funds in certain circumstances.

We don't see a Red Cross presence here. The real life reasons could be that the fire department didn't notify the chapter or that the Red Cross simply hasn't gotten there yet. But what's probably happened is Jeph used this as a way to get the Bar Owner and Robot Hand to spend time together so they could become a couple down the line.

You might rightly point out that Northhampton, MA is about an hours drive away from the headquarters of the West Massachusetts Chapter of the Red Cross. But DAT teams aren't stationed at the headquarters. DAT and Client Casework are exclusively made up of volunteers who live and work throughout a chapter's geographical boundaries. You could also point out that calling it a CAC card is redundant. This is true, but getting a (KAK) Card sounds much more appealing than getting a (KAK).

Dude, I know you're super passionate about participating in red cross volunteer projects and you learned a lot from the seminars you took with them but this is questionable content here, it's not worth the first three words you typed and Jeff won't read it anyway since SA makes fun of QC so much

Even though this is way more effort than QC deserves, it was nonetheless very educational and A Good Post Indeed. Thanks for the effort.

It's not like I'm spamming the thread with technical Red Cross stuff. I started following this thread for criticisms recently. I finally had a meaningful criticism to share. I shared it. The odds of this topic ever coming up again are incredibly minute. So I'll leave it at this Nuns and you leave it at this and everything's fine.

Oh you don't know then. So the thread goes through cycles where different topics some up, and QC talk is the worst part of that cycle. Someone inevitably brings it up and It's just a long list of people saying how mediocre it is. That's why I do the garfield minus garfield edits to it. Because it is truly the garfield of webcomics. The only way to make it interesting is by removing the premise.
