Permanent Court of Arbitration

(MULTILATERAL GOVERNMENT) International court based in the Hague, the Netherlands; founded in 1889; oldest multilateral court. In some respects, a precursor to the International Court of Justice (also in the Hague--in the same building, the Peace Palace).

The PCA differs from the ICJ in that only national governments may be respondents in the ICJ (which operates like a civil court). The PCA settles disputes that may arise between a private party (such as RCA, in RCA vs. China-1935) and a national government, or between national governments. Parties submit to the PCA when the dispute is a nuisance to both, but relevant laws are uncertain.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration has a three-part organizational structure consisting of an Administrative Council that oversees its policies and budgets, a panel of independent potential arbitrators known as the Members of the Court, and its Secretariat, known as the International Bureau, headed by the Secretary-General.

Arbitrary bullshit is anything the contents of which does not matter that holds little to no intrinsic value, the discussing of which would entail such uses of energy and time that it is better dismissed.

Arbitrary bullshit is often assembled by people with low-intelligence, it is not their fault that they believe it to be important but also should not be treated as valuable as it may lead to the manifestation of more arbitrary bullshit by the original creator. This is often accompanied by feelings by the creator that what is objectively arbitrary bullshit is an original thought that others would benefit from hearing.
Some examples of arbitrary bullshit

"'God is a woman' has more listens than 'God is a man' which is showing how society has changed and is waking up to the fact that woman are the future."

In this example of arbitrary bullshit, the creator of said arbitrary bullshit has made a statement that will bring up many to tell their opinions. This is the "arbitrary bullshit exponential effect," and is easy to be sucked into if unaware. It leads

Going Arbitrary

When faced with a tough decision, Going Arbitrary is asking an otherwise illogical question to make the decision for you. Optimally, the question should be connected to the decision in some way, though this is not necessary.

Person B) "Flying houses"

Person A) "Chicken patties it is!"
