I think an important piece of the psychology here is that when prices go up, people understand that's inflation, but when their incomes go up, they don't see the part that's because of inflation, they ascribe it all to having a successful career.

Yeah I agree, people should take advantage of their benefits.

On the other hand, occasionally I've stayed late at work, even though I'm on salary, because I feel in "the zone" and I'm personally excited to see a design I came up with come to fruition, or I'm learning something new. I don't think that is mental illness, even though technically I am giving my company "free work".

In a good workplace if you're on salary this is supposed to balance out with all the times you take off early, or come in late or take off for a doctor's appointment or whatever without having to dip into your PTO. For a few years through 2020 I was an office worker who was paid hourly with overtime and yeah, I didn't mind 55 hour work weeks when it was necessary because my check was fat. After some private equity buyouts and company mergers I was transitioned to salary with a very nominal increase in pay (like $2500) and my boss at the time was objectively dumbfounded when I told him he had to find someone else to do 30% of my work because I wasn't going to work 15 hours of OT a week for free. Like we got into a loop of, "but you said you didn't mind the hours" and me saying "yes when I was making time and a half working them!" like 3 times before I had to say this conversation isn't productive and I am not doing XZY tasks anymore. Company ended up creating a full time role at ~$19/hr to do what I did in 15 hours a week. So you know, I'm doing my part in terms of creating new jobs. I'm lucky enough though that my boss was more afraid of me quitting than having to justify a new role in the short term, there are some salaried workers in other divisions of the company I work at who are biting the bullet and end up making the equivalent of like $20/hr because their boss is a tyrant with ridiculous turnover.

Probably depends on a lot of things, like exact terms of the commission (licensing, ownership, use of the artwork), how the artist is being compensated, the nature of the one making the commission (individual? company?), and the power dynamic between the commissioner and the artist.

I guess private person and private artist. doesnt matter if IP or whatever since most corps dont really give a poo poo as long as you dont sell them i believe.

Anthony Bourdain posted:

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.
I hope Kissinger is in Hell right now with Anthony Bourdain slow-roasting him
