What else can I do? 

What else can I do is the title to the Encanto song sang by Isabela and Mirabel. It was a song to express how Isabela didn't like how she always had to be perfect, and Mirabel being able to finally help
Isabela: What else can I do?

Mirabel: Wait! Bring it in, bring it in!

A phrase used by people with so little going on in their lives they resort to word play to be interesting or funny. Traditionally taken to mean; 'What can I do for you?'

What can I do sometimes 

The phrase was used by a former national team coach (Fatih Terim) in an interview. Though grammatically wrong, it entered the Turkish daily language as a way of meaning "there is nothing to do about this" and it is being used in English.

I can do that but I don't wanna 

A (usually) non-serious phrase that can be said by a person in reference to something they just witnessed or were told about that's often, but not always, very difficult or nearly impossible to do in real life.

Humorous and fallible attempt to try and milk coolness/points from any form of audience.
Ex. 1

Wizard: *shoots lightning bolts out of his ass*

Steve: I can do that but I don't wanna.

Ex. 2

Person in commercial: *jumps out of a plane while doing his taxes and fighting off a lion*

Jimbo to Molly: I can do that but I don't wanna.

Ex. 3

Lance: Man, I just saw this sick stunt. The guy was handcuffed while riding a motorcycle down a ramp, and then jumped through 5 fiery hoops over a shark-infested pool that also had spikes at the bottom of it.

Bobby: Pfft... I can do that but I don't wanna.

I don't care what I can or cannot do

I'm not getting married. I'm not going to let you bully me into changing anything I think or do. This isn't a 1v1 that you are winning against me. Challenge declined. You are not the challenge and you are never going to be that. You are doing this TO me and I will kill one of you kids if somebodies head doesn't roll for it. You stupid fucks should not have gotten in the way here and no it does not matter how I chose to go about it. And I'm sure as hell not just going to shut up and work harder. I'm not asking you.
Hym "I don't care what I can or cannot do. If I have to listen to you or do anything any of you say to get what I want out of this... I am just going to murder a child. I will not do it. Ever. Is that going to be the case? Or is that not going to be the case? No? I don't have to listen to you or do anything you say? Which is it? Because we can speed this up."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
