What do you mean by "better off"?

I guess it would have the same nutritional value, but that's not really why you drink milk. Like, I could eat peanuts, grapes, and bread for a healthy meal, but I'd much rather have a PB&J (probably with a creamy glass of oat milk).

Not exactly the best example, since that's not a typical behavior but a result of poor scientific practices. Mantises only take that action when extremely stressed, which is frankly a lesson we should be carefully considering.

Apparently the server's admin was raided for completely unrelated charges, but they seized all his electronics. That means law enforcement can comb through every bit of personal data on that server to connect to any investigations that might be relevant, regardless of relation to the initial reason the admin was targeted. That's a possibility for any instance in the Fediverse.

Balanced encounters doesn't mean every encounter is just as difficult, it means the GM knows how difficult the encounter is going to be. Any system with good encounter building has recommendations for the level of challenge.
