My friend Tom quit fapping and his biology shifted. Skin cleared, jawline sharpened, posture fixed. Women sense his unbusted alpha frequency when he makes eye contact. Semen retention = testosterone recycling. Stop draining your power and unlock Alpha Mode.

The reason they come for comedians early is that a comic license is surprisingly easy to revoke. You just have to stop laughing.

Daniel Levy was always steadfast in his position: "As long as Giorgio Armani has breath in his lungs, I will remain chairman of Tottenham Hotspur". And he stuck to that. Which was odd, really
