Justin Credible

Play on words for Just Incredible, but also very true since Justin is incredible. He will be there for you when you need it, when he is not distracted by Facebook memes. He has the most incredible singing voice and outshines the sun when he smiles. He has a kind and approachable aura. He has leadership skills and can talk to you for days about Monster Hunter.

Justin is the most perfect person for Andrea and they will live happily ever after for the rest of their lives.

Justin Credible showed up, y'all. We have nothing to worry about. He got this.

Credible

Credible and true are two different things, though it is often implied that credible and true are the same.

A movie is credible, there are are credits given to actors, directors, producers, sound and lighting crews, music, and anyone else involved in making the movie, and yet the movie is still 2 hours or so of unbelievable bullshit trying to pass itself off as believeable, (or feasible, as some would call it) which is really what people are doing when they call something credible. Saying something is credible encourages people not to keep questioning it, stopping just short of telling them they can't question it.

Schrödinger's Credibility

The credibility of a google search relies on whether or not it proves a party right or wrong in an argument

Schrödinger's Credibility:
"Google says that I am correct,"
"Well google isn't always right!"
or
"Google says you're right..."
"I told you!"

Credibility

You're presupposing that the non-dei people are working harder.

Hym "Your credibility is literally the only you care about. You literally have hours of lectures devoted to how important it is to you. This wasn't about you initially and when it became about you, you cried like a little bitch and tried to kill yourself. And then you came back, realized I wasn't dead, and the cried some more. This isn't some moral calculus your doing here. This isn't your virtue being punished. This isn't you defending the zeitgeist. This is you taking revenge on a dissident in the form of his own self-described Truman-Show esque hell. Except IT WAS ALREADY HAPPENING. So you're helping them cover it up. That's all this is. And you railing against the institutions is your own hypocrisy manifest."
