Admittedly the forcibly neutral headline should probably be changed.
The video has been unlisted but this is the link. One important thing to note is that he recently made a video satirizing how people pretend your life condition doesn't affect your mental health implies that wasn't satire, which is incredibly concerning.
He deleted the comment where he talks about his landlord but it has been screenshotted here. It's also proof that's actually where he lives.
Someone has unironically compiled how that house violates Canadian/Ontarian legislation
r/jreg is in some mix of meme-ing and genuine concern.

Use this, not that: Positive swaps for the New Year

This is a bit of a sibling topic to the one about changing habits for 2020. Rather than looking at habits specifically, I want to look at "swaps" that people can make.
What's something someone could change out for a better alternative?
A swap should be recommended if it is,
- more ethical,
- more sustainable,
- heathier,
- or just overall better in an individual or collective way.
Importantly: the swap should be both feasible and sensical, and should be something that is relatively easy to do. This isn't about making huge lifestyle changes but about taking what we're already doing and making it better.
Please give your reasoning for your swap, as well as any important caveats. Mentioning specific brands/companies is fine if that's an important part of the swap. Also, swaps can be for anything so don't feel limited to consumer products. Feel free to give good food/service/app/software/store swaps as well!
See my post below for an example, if the setup I've given here is unclear!
