 noooooo the saxophone was great I promise! But I want you to explore new
 horizons too
Image shows a screenshot of a Mastodon comment, specifically the comment that the original poster is responding to.  The screenshotted comment says "I have to return to Saxophone this week. Help me pick which instrument I rent next for TodePond music."  TodePond is a Youtube Channel that shows very surreal videos about programming and cartoon frogs. It's very cool, I love it a lot.  Anyway, the original post has a poll attached. The four options are number 1: another saxophone? number 2: Cello number 3: trombone, maybe tuba and number 4: flute  the author of this toot has picked flute as their option. It received 29% of the votes, number 3 (trombone) received 29% as well, and Cello received 43%. Of note is that the first option, the option to pick another saxophone, received zero percent of the votes! Which implies that the saxophone wasn't well received.  However, the author of this toot really likes the saxophone, even though they voted for the flute in the poll, because they want the musician to expand their horizons. Because to do so is to improve themselves, which is a pretty good thing to aspire for. Anyway read what the author wrote and you'll hear what she means.

 I don't really care about capitalism, sorry... why should the butcher be paid
 more than the baker? It's all a bit silly to me.

 you only say that because you're privileged such that you may ignore such        │
 realities. You are despicable, you ignore the plight and reality of those who    │
 you claim to speak toward - what a jerk!                                         │

 how futile it is, the effort to denigrate yourself to infinite requirements.     │
 I'm literally unemployed, I have no capital, I cannot speak for naught but       │
 those who would hear me. I guess that makes my words useless, wouldn't you       │
 agree? Shall I describe myself more fully? It's the responsibility of the        │
 audience to ascertain the intentions, biases, and contextual evidence that the   │
 author presents in their thesises. So... You, who are reading this, what do you  │
 think of me? Would you ever tell me as such, or am I simply a mass of words in   │
 the void of experience that comprise your existence in this wholely (yet         │
 incompletely) digital existence? I hope you have a good life, my most precious   │
 of viewers. I hope you never face incontrovertibly impossible hardship. I hope   │
 the light of your life is to y                                                   │

 I made someone smile today, so therefore I don't have to do anything more to
 secure my place on Santa's "good list".

 Whoa, that backplate is pretty. Coax cables into a mobo? whatever for? Still, I
 dig it, can't wait to hear how it goes
