Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

So, a man with long hair doesn’t need to be tied up (neutre the man nor his hair).

A good friend liked to go to these kind of rhetorical legal battles with the school and the dress code. It was hilarious. She used neon green hair for three months due to a weird wording on some rule or another about colored hair. Then they would change it to something more restrictive but she would find the loopholes and challenge them again. She once got us to loan her our watches and wore over 20 wrist watches due to a stupid rule about bracelets. Wore all sorts of ridiculous clothes colors and patterns, and queues, horns and bunny ears. Went as a clown when they tried to regulate makeup. After two years of madness the school board called her to negotiate a truce. They removed the ancillary dress code, uniform was still mandatory but anything beyond the basic four pieces of clothing students would be free as long as it wasn't nudity or disrupted other students. Skirts were made optional, the origin of the whole conflict. In return she was just asked to stop trying to give the poor principal a heart attack.

She still wore colorful stuff and accessories after that. But at least she wasn't in heated arguments during detention everyday anymore. She wanted to abolish uniform altogether but in a way she sort of won.

Maybe I'm just dumb but what does queue mean here? I thought it was like a line for people to wait in

Oops, sorry. Not a native English speaker. Braids, rows, queues? I'm not sure which one is the correct word now. It was an extravagant haircut with lots of braids queued on the back.

Also not native, but I don't think you can't use the word queue or line for hair. You can use braids, you can use tail or you can say tied back.

I get it though cause in Italian we too have the same word for line of people and hair tail (coda)
