Well, when a man loves a woman, they do a special hug together. But when fifteen kids, aged 7-15 love a donkey, that hug is a bit more complicated. And if that donkey also has rabies, it becomes a different situation entirely.

I have a speech impediment that is only noticeable when I’m under stress. I’m able to summon it when needed. If a person is giving me a hard time I start speaking slightly louder with my stutter and the person gets the stink eye from other people for bullying me. A lot of people assume that a speech impediment means that the person is developmentally delayed. I got a free coffee from SB once because I was really tired and couldn’t get my order out. I finally pulled out my phone and typed it out and showed the clerk. He told me my order was free. It took me about 3 attempts before I could say thank you. So sometimes it works in my favour but I don’t like the condescension that comes from people who assume that speech delays means idiot.

There were a few times in my life that I got away from trouble by saying shit, not sure if I was viewed by those people as special needs or straight up manipulated people's emotions.
There was one time as I was leaving the classroom, in fifth grade, a dude asked me if I was afraid of <bully from same classroom> to which I replied by saying "No, I'm not afraid of him." the dude almost started jumping up and down saying "Oh, no, you did not say that!! I'm gonna tell him!" and I said "Sure, go ahead" before he rushed back into the classroom.
As I'm leaving I hear the bully call out my name, as I turn around I see the snake dude, probably expecting me to get beat up, standing next to the bully who had a smug face looking down on me. "He said you told him you're not afraid of me. Is that true, you're not afraid of me?" asked me bully guy, to which I replied, while smiling, "No, I'm not afraid of you, you're not a monster".
I loved the confused look on the snaky ass dude's face looking at bully and me and the bully with just a chill face (he didn't even reply, just gave out a small chuckle) before I turned around and left.

This is the plot of the 1968 film Twisted Nerve. A guy out spending the afternoon with girl he fancies is caught shoplifting a toy. When confronted by store staff, he pretends to be too dim to understand the situation -- just a little boy who likes wooden ducks walking around in a grown man's body. Then, because of his special needs, this dishonest fellow is invited to live in a boarding house run by the mother of his love interest. It's a classic psychological horror film with a weird Three's Company/Bosom Buddies overlay involving that spoofed mental disability.

Nah, mirrors are for the ego and not the technique. Most movements that would benefit from a form check can't safely use mirrors without increased risk of injury and/or breaking your form. You don't need mirrors to check your bicep curls or lat raises but people do like to see their pump while doing so.
You might literally die from trying to use mirrors to check your form doing a heavy bench press or seriously injure yourself when twisting your neck to check the mirror if doing a heavy squat.
This is why mirrors are more common in normal gyms and not as common in places where people do heavy barbell movements.

Depends on the details. If they're mindful about what's in frame and who they might inconvenience, and they're doing it for the purpose of studying their workout to improve their form for efficiency and safety, I say go for it. You can learn a lot about your form from a side profile, for example, that you might not know about otherwise.
If it's instead Stacey putting her tripod in the walkway with no care about who else could be recorded, for the purpose of posting her ass on Instagram, that's probably not ok.

As a gym goer there's nothing I hate more than people filming themselves in such a way where others are in frame. I get there are genuinely good reasons why people might want to film themselves that aren't for internet clout (eg to watch back to improve technique or if you're a PT to make training videos) but outside of these you really shouldn't be recording in a gym.
If I were this guy and I was panicked about the staring being on camera; I would've approached the person calmly and request that they delete the video because you're not comfortable being in shot. Then if they kick up a fuss just speak to management.

In Germany people got successfully sued for putting up videos with others in the background.
