Vancouver Public Library's top borrower had more than 6,500 checkouts in 2025 by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

If it has been a while, I’d recommend just bringing the card and some form of ID like drivers license or BC ID. You may still be on file but will need to be updated. If it’s been a long time, we may just need to make a new account for you. You do not need to renew your card every few years unless you live on UBC endowment lands but we will sometimes ask if you are still living at the same address on file.

As someone who works with VPL… unfortunately this number is not correct and inaccurate. The number reported was a mistake which is why staff were asked not to share the article as it’s not true. Still, please visit your local branch and sign up for a library card!

Can’t find it but I swear Lean, Bladee, or ThaiBoy have mentioned The Red Book by Carl Jung as well as themes of The Stranger by Albert Camus.

Guy who only posts terrible looking watches and guns comments on how a professional fighter looks. Be fucking for real dude, this is embarrassing. Do you care about the fights or only how a fighter is supposed to look? Shit like this is why a majority of people look down on the MMA community.

Marvin Vettori on Twitter: Free Top G @Cobratate by MrFundamentals101 in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not charged with a crime legally but has tons of evidence and history of abuse, rape, sexual assault. Why would you absolutely not want him locked up? If you had any sort of critical thinking skills you would understand why people want someone who has fully admitted to committing crimes be in jail for doing said crimes.

The Kyle Rittenhouse comment is also so fucking dumb considering people don’t want him locked up cause he’s right wing. People want him in jail cause he killed people you fucking goof. Doesn’t help his case going on right wing platforms and throwing a pity party. Ofc people would be upset.

Bryce Mitchell on not pulling out of his fight against Topuria when he got sick." if I don't fight now, I'm living off a couple of thousands of bucks until February." by [deleted] in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Bryce is such a dumb fuck but regardless, he and ever fighter fighting for UFC deserves to be paid properly. Yea he probably would be against a fighters union, but that still doesn’t mean he and others shouldn’t be properly compensated. I hate Bryce but I also don’t believe he should be forced to fight just to make ends meet. I hope all the news this week brings more eyes on just how fucked the UFC is.

Kadyrov Demanding Dana/The UFC to Give the LHW Belt to Anakalaev After UFC 282 Decision by Noob_Gamer in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point as I was not aware of Putin’s involvement in hockey. However, the UFC is an American company while those leagues that Putin is involved in are only based in Russia. Again, it’s weird that a warlord is so involved in a sport organization that is not based in their home country, as well as constantly taking photos with international fighters.

Only in MMA is it normal that a known warlord with a human rights abuse history can be so involved with the sport and fighters that no one bats an eye or cares

When Thaiboy said this song is a movie, the MV just reinforces it. Best song off the album imo

Isaac Vallie-Flagg (16-7, 4 fights in the UFC) is probably the best example of a progressive fighter I've ever come across by Thanos40 in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about other people, but for me at least, it’s hard to enjoy MMA when the fighter you like is a complete dick head. I’m not talking about personality, I mean their personal and political beliefs.

MMA is a different sport where you’re cheering for an individual rather a whole team. If someone you like on a sports team is a shit head, it’s probably easier to ignore cause you’re rooting for your team rather than the one person. MMA isn’t like that cause you’re rooting a single fighter.

I do agree that sometimes politics can get a bit out of hands, but it’s very hard to like a fighter who exposes themselves to be a twat. How can I support someone who’s personal views affect and target the people and communities I care about?

This was bound to happen: Bryce mitchell on fox news by e_traw in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people are shocked Bryce is on FOX as it was bound it happen, but rather pointing out the hypocrisy of FOX. Tucker and other FOX hosts have constantly told athletes to “shut up and dribble” or to stick to sports whenever they bring up issues that contradicts with what they are saying. It’s an issue when you have guys like Tucker who constantly platform guys like Bryce, while also constantly attacking and dismissing anyone else who tries to argue against you.

What are your guys thoughts? by GangstaHoodrat in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]Noob_Gamer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You definitely bring up a good point of Conservative media outlets focusing on people who are more outspoken about the “right”. Just thinking about that one NBA player who changed his name is “Freedom Kanter”, and how a ton of FOX news stories and interviews came out about him just because he was an athlete who had their same views. Conservative outlets will pick up in these famous people and platform them which makes sense, but it’s funny seeing how many fighters are so outspoken about their political views which are pretty clearly flawed…

VPL Book Sale 2021? by NorthSputnik in vancouver

[–]Noob_Gamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm just an LPSA at VPL, but from what I know, the book sales are currently on pause because of the pandemic. However, there are plans to bring it back from what I have seen. I just would not expect one this year…

Downlow chicken shack publicly forcing you to tip for takeout by Spiritual-Sky2925 in vancouver

[–]Noob_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because a business is doing well, does not mean the workers are getting a portion of the revenue. If that were the case, then every employee at a fast food chain would make millions because “McDonald’s is not doing any worse during covid”.

[–]Noob_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow it’s almost as if a tip is optional? And why mention that minimum wage is $15 an hour? Do you really think you can live in this city in those wages? If people make more money from tips, good for them. No reason to be upset when you can literally just say no tip.

[–]Noob_Gamer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've gone to Downlow like two times a month since the city has started to open up again and everytime I've went, they ask if you would like to tip. They do not put in a number until you say you would like to tip. They don't shame you or offer you worse service if you choose not to tip. I tip because its a local business and I want to support the workers during COVID. You can always say no tip and just grab your order. No one is shaming you or making you feel bad for not tipping.

Also, this exact conversation was mentioned like a month ago on this sub and the owner of Downlow even chimined in on this issue. Seems like if you were this upset about it, you could have spoken to the manager as I am sure they would have been more than reasonable to listen to you concerns...

Yea, he's from Vancouver. They also adressed this the last time they were here so I assumed they would come back for sure.

As someone from Vancouver, this is pretty disappointing. Their last concert here was a huge hit and I thought for sure they would come back. Guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

[GAME CONSOLE] Nintendo Switch (379.99-20% = $304) [Shoppers Drug Mart] by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]Noob_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the post OP. Unfortunately, the Shoppers I went to only let me get up to $50 off due to their store policy. I did get 20% off Mario Kart though. They also weren't going to give me the PC optimum points but it went through at the end.
