    Jesus who are you trying to impress talking like that? Putting shit in a box is not skilled labor in the sense being a plumber or an accountant is. Just because I can’t define the line exactly does not mean there is no line and pointing out that my reasoning isn’t perfect doesn’t make your reasoning correct.

    It is unskilled labor because words are defined by consensus.

      The line is imaginary, and division by any line is not particularly natural or useful.

      What consensus are you imagining? I cannot recall being asked to offer an opinion for any consensus.

      Who participated in constructing the consensus? What processes are generally available to challenge the entrenched consensus, or to direct the development of a new consensus?

      Which groups have supported such a consensus more strongly than others?

        Bullshit lines don’t matter. You clearly act like it does. Do you eat anything randomly or do you have standards of hygiene and taste and nutrition?

        Yeah you weren’t consulted. Your whims don’t outrule billions of people who refuse to be ordered to believe that 2 + 2 = 5.

        Still goalposting moving, which is also unskilled labor.

          You asserted a consensus had been formed.

          Who participated in forming the consensus?

          Did you participate? Are you benefiting from such a consensus? Would you be harmed by its being replaced?

          Why is your tone so protective and forceful?

            Look at the votes on this comment tree. Clearly there is a consensus, clearly Amazon packers are on the “unskilled” side of the line
