One disagrees with a claim, not a fact. People's lives are facts. You can dislike someone's life, you can disagree with the wisdom of it.
@JaysonVirissimo That's usually the intended meaning, I think, but it distorts it importantly.

@JaysonVirissimo "This is unwise" is an honest phrasing. "I disagree" muddles things up. -
.
@JaysonVirissimo I think part of my objection is that "I disagree with" implies the entirety of someone's life is cognitively accessible. -

@JaysonVirissimo To disagree with someone's life is to set yourself atop someone's entire lived experience. That's...darn rude. -

@JaysonVirissimo "That behavior there is unwise" is (assuming one has an actual argument) epistemically appropriate. -
.
@JaysonVirissimo And "I dislike that" is a simple fact itself, not something one can argue either way. Epistemically OK (potentially rude)
