That last line was a little too forced. But the info near the end is good stuff. The universe is entropic and likely has more energy, movement and mass than previously observed.
Maybe ask them if they're generalizing before a tirade? Yes, hate and stupidity exists everywhere, but I've lived in rural and metro areas and their generalization is accurate. And for that matter, there's a lot of warm people that live in back country who aren't stupid or racist, but, depending on a few factors, you can easily run into rural stereotypes. All the same I imagine a lot of us are talking in general views.
If you haven't discovered it yet, here's a good link to Tom Zlosnik's iNSPIRE (HEP) Literature papers; he's one of the lead researchers. While RMOND is down the list a little (cited ~113 times) his most recent papers are very interesting too and dig deeper into supporting RMOND. It's a lot of math that goes well over my head but even for non-professionals, there is meaningful information between the equations. I'll be eventually writing a profile for Tom and Constantinos Skordis (RMOND's other author) and RMOND itself for this Lemmy instance.
Remember that all theories are best when they fit our observations, make predictions and hopefully can be tested. When we're discussing going all the way back to the origin of our observable universe, some version of the Big Bang is likely (Black Hole cosmology, hot big bang,  Penrose's Conformal cyclic cosmology and so on). Origin theories are made of complex math with many believing that the least complex should likely be closer to the origin then ones that have a lot of fine-tuning and extensive fudge math (making math fit what your bias, not what's probable/likely). Is it possible for RMOND/MOND variant theories to support a universe without a big bang variant, possibly, but it depends on what math you're using to account for things like dark energy, the CMB, and other cosmological phenomenon that needs to be explained.
I was tempted to leave out the Wiki link in my post as it has some dated information, both for and against MOND, but it's easy enough to find so I included it; Wiki also shows variant MOND theories and related links. Moreover, my post has links to current MOND data, which better explains criticisms and concerns. Keep in mind, MOND variants are still developing, mostly outside of the USA (where I'm from), and without significant funding; unlike Dark Matter. Lastly, this isn't a crackpot theory, can be falsified (older models have been), makes predictions (has already made and proven many up to this point). All of this and more is addressed by Prof Dr Kroupa and his colleagues in the field, as well as in the data linked from my original post. I hope this helps one and all.
This is very useful tip. If I don't want to leave the house without something I place the thing in the car first or on top of my shoes. I basically can't trust myself to remember things when I'm on the way out because I'm too distracted by a myriad of unimportant things.
This is very likely the reason. Not all downhills will induce it, but the automatic is down-shifting to slow your acceleration. There are various ways for your car to know but manufacturers want the driver in control, not the environment. Depending on the car and speed you may not hear it, but when it slows down does it sound like the engine is revving higher?
I'm not smart enough to answer your question. But I wouldn't mind speculating a little myself on large galactic and even filament scales. I think we're underestimating how invasive gravity can be on these galactic bodies. There might be far more supermassive black holes out there that seem to have extremely far reaching affects well beyond the galaxies they inhabit, and perhaps their reach, or "waves" not only travel incredibly far, but might be adding to the galactic influences we see on edges of galaxies, galaxy clusters and filament formations/rotations. 
I kid you not, my wife is still using her iPhone 8 because recent phones haven't been worth the upgrade. Battery life is a regular issue but otherwise nothing makes her want to stop using it.
The one I often read is cats do this because they want fresh food. Auto-feeders are pricey but seem to be a decent solution to all the above - my cats stopped meowing through the night and knew food was eventually coming, portioned, during the night. They're a little loud but brief and better than caterwauling.
