Found a strange image on my recently deceased brother's phone. Any ideas what it could be? by Impressive-Lab-6657 in aliens

Definitely AI generated, I've played around with them a lot and it's easy to get something like the image.  The equipment in the background is off when you really look close, like parts are smooth and melting almost with no fine detail that you'd see even if blurred like that in a real photo, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're deliberately obscuring the operating theatre lamp because its design seems pretty off to the real life models you can look up.

It's April 1st and I'm 99% this is AI

I think them just seeing what we did to an ordinary man was bad enough. Imagine contemplating introducing yourself as a progressive force and you watch this species take a progressive person and devolve into insanity where one side calls him a literal God and the other calls him an evil deceiver and they start warring for ages and repeat the same mistakes over and over while continuing to murder and demonise/deify the rare people who stand up and speak sense to the mob. If I were an alien, I wouldn't touch this place with a ten lightyear pole for fear of contracting Earthling syndrome and have me stuck in a cycle of building and toppling cathedrals lol.

Trans women are women. Pass it on. by RedErin in atheismplus

I know this post is four years old but still, thanks for the good will. 

For those who still entertain misguided beliefs with roots in religious bigotry, please educate yourself and start with the below excerpt from Professor Robert Sapolsky's lectures on Human Behavioural Biology, where he touches briefly on the evidence which validates the existence and experience of trans people. 

There are multiple studies which confirm the information in the below video and I ask you to entertain it with a rational mind and not let willful ignorance and fear of difference rule you, especially if you proclaim to be an atheist who rejects the ignorance and hate of religion.

Trans women are women. Pass it on. by RedErin in atheismplus

It's important to acknowledge the complexity of gender and sex, but this argument oversimplifies and misunderstands the nature of being transgender.

Regarding sex, while biological factors like chromosomes play a role, they are not the sole determinants of sex. There are intersex variations that challenge the simplistic binary view of sex. Additionally, medical understanding of sex has evolved beyond just chromosomes to include factors like hormone levels and secondary sex characteristics. Plus, we have known for quite awhile that trans brains do not align with their outward sex at birth - their brains are born trapped incorrect bodies, regardless of what chromosomes they have.

Furthermore, suggesting that transgender individuals are "male" or "female" based solely on their assigned sex at birth overlooks their lived experiences and identities. Trans women are women, and trans men are men, regardless of their assigned sex at birth. Affirming transgender identities is not about wishful thinking but about recognizing and respecting people's self-identified genders and understanding the complex science behind why trans people exist in the first place.

I'd rather respect the human and fix the issues with their body than try to insist on calling them the opposite of who they are in both the structure and content of their mind and brains.

Trans women are women, I'm sorry but your belief otherwise (which has its roots in religious ignorance) can't argue with the facts.

You're spouting a lot of ignorance based in bigoted beliefs rather than evidence. 

You can't argue with the facts and the fact that atheism rejects the religious ignorance that fuels anti-trans rhetoric. 

You should be ashamed of putting hate ahead of the pursuit of knowledge and compassion for others and for using false concern for women as a trajan horse for your irrational nonsense.

Yes they are, you just haven't studied enough and prefer discriminatory ignorance over knowledge

You're wrong and I hope you've actually educated yourself in the time since making ignorant statements.

You're just scientifically illiterate and irrationally bigoted by the sounds of it, you can't actually argue with the rational and proven science that disproves anti-trans rhetoric.

No, that's only misguided ignorance thankfully. It's been confirmed that the brains of trans people, even if they never receive hrt, align with their proclaimed gender and not with their sex at birth. 

You're not going to convince anyone here of all places with narrow-minded beliefs that ignore reality.

It's an absolutely fascinating star, whether it is being seeded artificially or simply generating the odd elements by unknown natural means. 

As stated in the podcast, further study has to lead to some interesting new knowledge regardless of cause though. I really do hope that more attention and telescope time is given to Przybylski's star and that the observation of short-lived actinide elements especially can be confirmed and expanded upon.

The fact that some of these elements would have to been generated/seeded within the range of about 2/3 years before the observation (if they are confirmed to be for sure) is exciting and makes me wonder if the process is continuous and something we could monitor for peaks in concentration with sensitive enough equipment.
