fix Reddit share URL; driveby star, driveby trim dead code
I would have thought the SITEURL template variable would faithfully
reflect my Pelican SITEURL setting, but instead it was getting
populated as "../../.."?! (A relative-URLs setting??—the root is
"three levels up" from `YYYY/Mon/post-slug/`.) Hardcoding it should be
fine; the site isn't going anywhere (until the virus kills me).
While we're here, get that disgraceful hyphen out of the page
title. And, prune some conditional markup that misled my past self
into thinking that SITEURL would work.

put short slug in Simple Footnotes
Currently, "Does General Intelligence ...?" and "Reply to Ozymandias
on Fully Consensual Gender" are both on the front page, and the
earlier-on-the-page footnote fragments clobber later ones of the same
number. Including part of the post slug in the fragment solves the
problem, and I'm going all the way to five segments because you could
imagine two "Reply to Author on Topic" posts being on the same page
(even though I'm likely to abandon this plugin (for future posts, or
altogether) because native-Markdown footnotes (those are a thing!!)
are friendlier to read and write than the `[ref]` notation.

edit dimensions of Reddit share SVG
I already had a "height" directive in the HTML to make it display the
same height as the Twitter button, but Firefox's "reader mode" was
showing the enormous full-size version. It's neat that you can edit

I don't know where I got the "7500" from? When I copy the text

The part that's just about how classic OB/LW formed my views will be a
lot easier to finish, and doesn't need pseudonyms (because there's no
way to credibly construe it as an attack, whereas the
institutional-betrayal narrative could be), so it can be its own post.
Instead of "Great Teacher"/"Popular Author" as the pseudonyms for
Yudkowsky/Alexander (respectively), I've decided I like "Robert
